Team Spotlight: Kindergarten + School Age

Our Kindergarteners, better known as “The Jellyfish” are doing swimmingly with Miss Janette!

The small class experience has really allowed Miss Janette to take our kids on a hands-on, personalized adventure for their first year of elementary school. They do yoga, they utilize play in all their lessons, they get up-close and personal with science projects and class activities. It has been such a delight seeing them grow so much in so little time!

Our School-Age Kids don’t “check out” when they check in, thanks to Ms. Victoria!

Once the Before/After care kids get to their outdoor classroom, the fun really starts! Ms. Victoria has taught them kickball, read Encyclopedia Brown, even made elephant toothpaste! They are even making a HAUNTED HOUSE for our Trunk or Treat Spooktacular!

They may only be here for a few hours, but our School Age crew really makes that time count for something.

We have found that, for both groups, the more focused physical activity the better. These two teachers really get to know the students in their care, take account of what they need, and make sure they provide for them in a patient, structured way. In doing so, these kids feel confident in trying new things and exploring their curiosity.

Thanks, Elementary School Team! You exemplify what Common Ground stands for.
