School-Age Services L VCC’s school-age programs provide safe, supervised activities for children during their elementary and intermediate school years. We strive to help produce happy, healthy, community-oriented young adults. To meet the varying needs and interests of school-age children, our program is both educational and recreational. The structure of the program and the activities oered relect the interests of the students and reinforce skills learned in school. Although time is allocated for doing homework, school-age children may also participate in cooperative games, arts and crafts, computer activities, table games, cooking, dramatics and much more. In addition, children enjoy outdoor activities daily . Community service projects are encouraged to emphasize the importance of children taking an active role in creating healthy communities. In addition, school-age classrooms utilize the Heartwood Institute’s literature-ba sed ethics and character education curriculum. The Heartwood Curriculum uses outstanding children’s literature from around the world to stimulate discussions and activities. Many of our programs take place on-site in local elementary and intermediate schools, while in other cases LV CC provides transportation between the school and an LVCC center. Services vary slightly by location. For instance, some programs can provide care after half-day kindergarten, on school holidays and snow days.
