Fall Program Descriptions
Kids Club - Mondays and Wednesdays
This program is an opportunity for children to explore the Epicentre. The kids are met off the school bus and have 1.5 hours of free play. This program is child led and under the guidance of the facilitator the children can use the craft supplies, toys, games, puzzles and outdoor space.
Theatre Club - Tuesdays
The children are led through a variety of theatre games and improv. With guidance they learn theatre skills such as projection of voice, blocking, expression of emotion and creative storytelling. The children work as a team and learn how to support each other on stage. We will also work on a mini performance that will be created by the children from writing a script, set design, costumes, sound effects, music and blocking.
Sewing Club - Thursdays
In this program the children are taught basic sewing skills such as threading a needle, basic stitches, cutting fabric and using a template. Once basic skills have been learned the children will get the opportunity to try sewing with a machine. Each week the children have a choice of projects to choose from such as stuffed animals, pillows, pin cushions, bags etc. The children are also encouraged to use their own creative ideas and often come up with some pretty amazing items.
Youth Sewing and Craft Night - Thursdays
This is a great opportunity for our older children to take their sewing skills to a more advanced level and have greater access to the sewing machine. Other craft projects will also be made available such as paints, drawing, fimo clay, beading, making of dioramas etc. While the children are being creative, listening to shared music and feeling free to connect with each other, a pizza dinner will be provided. It is a great way for our youth to start their weekend while being creative.
Learning with Karen - Fridays
Using the Montessori teaching method the children will get to spend each Friday in a creative and supportive learning environment. The days will consist of hands-on exploration as we strengthen maths, language, science, geography and history skills. We will take a multi-disciplinary approach by overlapping subjects and often using art, games and hands-on challenges. There will also be time throughout the day to help anyone with homework.
