Program Supports Instruction- One of the features that make this program unique is its focus on supporting standards-based, grade-specific classroom instruction.

• Structured homework supervision- At least 45 minutes to an hour of quiet time is set aside daily for youngsters who need to complete homework assignments. Peer-to-peer partnering and assistance by staff enable students to complete most homework assignments during their time in childcare.
• Library Media Centers & Computer Lab Access - When supervision is available, students have access to the library media center, computer lab and other school resources for research and homework assignments.
• Program Curriculum- Discovery Excursion.

Program Features - Staff strives to make each day enriching and rewarding for every child. Other program features include:

• Outdoor play - When weather permits students take part in supervised individual and group games, or free-play on the playground, fields, etc.
• Indoor activities - Board games, structured activities and special programs such as guest performers, support classroom learning and make the childcare experience fun for all.
• Arts and crafts - Drawing, painting and seasonal make-and-take crafts are among the hands-on learning experiences that make the Kids' Korner program enjoyable for students.
