Midway’s
School-Age curriculum provides opportunities for students to make
their own choices and to initiate their own activities. The teacher
actively communicates with each child and provides opportunities
and support for them to understand, and use verbal and non-verbal
means of communicating thoughts and feelings.
|
| The
school age child is provided a variety of outdoor equipment and activities
such as soccer, kickball, basketball, and a jungle gym to promote
and encourage the physical development of both gross and fine motor
muscles. These activities also help children learn to be a team member,
develop strategies for solving social problems in a safe, and nurturing
environment. |
 |
| Midway
offers a quiet time in which school age children may complete homework
and receive any necessary assistance. Each school age child has the
opportunity to participate in planned or spontaneous activity such
as board games, card games, and arts and crafts. This allows the children
time to sit and talk with their friends and helps the child feel accepted
in groups. It also helps children learn to communicate their thoughts
and feelings in an appropriate respectful manner as well as develop
a sense of independence. Midway also provides a wide range of activities
and field trips for the time when school aged children do not attend
school. |
