It’s no secret after school programs offer a range of benefits for students. Studies show participation in high-quality after school programs can improve test performance, increase self-determination and develop better behavior (Weissberg, R.P., et.al, 2010). While many parents will choose an after school program simply for its convenience, you should not stop your expectations there! A Quality After School Program will focus on these five things to ensure your child is getting the most out of their after school hours:
1. Promote Learning and Self-determination
The better the work habits, the more fun students can have! Still Waters ASP students are encouraged to complete their work efficiently during homework time. They are proud of their academics and always look forward to a variety of games and activities after their daily accomplishments.
2. Conduct a Safe Environment
Still Waters excels at providing not only a safe physical environment for children, but an enriching social environment as well. Teachers are trained to help students practice important communication skills for resolving conflicts and building strong friendships. These are skills that last a lifetime!
3. Develop Character
We believe character is curated through real interactions, with real people, in real life situations. That’s why all Still Waters staff attend both church and additional enrichment weekly. With this training, our staff is able to instill high morals organically, both by example and by applied wisdom. Children also participate in growing in God\’s Word and in worship daily!
4. Extracurricular Activities
There are so many fun and interesting things to discover outside of school curriculum! Our program provides simply amazing ST2E2AM Project Based Learning Classes and Music classes conveniently at the same location. In addition, After School offers weekly opportunities for special ST2E2AM learning projects in specific discipline areas of science, theology, technology,entrepreneurship, engineering, art, and mathematics.
5. Encourage and Value Free Play
Free play is an essential part of learning and growing. Our students love going outside and engaging socially with other students in a range of team sports and games every day.
Give your child a quality learning experience with Still Waters After School Program!
