Champions Programs
Champions offers families right-at-school options that deliver abundant opportunities for achievement and fun!
Before and After School Programs:
Each day, our school-age participants choose from five activity areas that keep them in high gear - both mentally and physically!
- Take the Challenge - Homework areas sharpen study skills and get projects handled! Brain teasers, puzzles, and a reading area round out this gray matter zone.
- The Nature of It - Children can build a birdhouse or construct a dinosaur habitat as they watch science and nature come to life.
- Imagine That - All the world's a stage as kids enjoy theater fun and express themselves through dance, song, and art forms galore.
- Sports Zone - Tag, relay races, obstacle courses, and individual and group games drive team spirit and nurture each child's "inner champion."
- Snack Attack - Healthy, high-energy snacks give kids a burst of fuel for homework and sports. Fun cooking projects help hone measurement skills.
Program Enhancements:
- Read-Write-Now! Literacy Program and Book Clubs
- Sites dedicate at least 30 minutes daily to reading, writing, and vocabulary building. Our Book Club introduces a new work of children's literature monthly. Reading aloud to children conveys a proven benefit to reading progress!
Character Development Program:
Children shape important values in five key areas: community involvement, mentoring, conflict resolution, diversity appreciation, and family involvement. We developed the character program to address parent feedback.
Wellness Program:
Our wellness program focuses on physical activity, health, nutrition, goal-setting, and relaxation and stress management. Staff encourage healthy eating and physical fitness as a lifelong pursuit.
Our Learning Continum:
- Preschool
- Nurturing environments help prepare children for elementary school. Our character-building enhancement gives kids a jumpstart on teamwork skills and valuing differences while Read-Write-Now! encourages early literacy.
Kindergarten Extended Day:
- We strive to work closely with classroom teachers to reinforce learning concepts. Parent-teacher conferences and daily communication with parents keep you updated on children's progress. Our character program and Read*Write*Now! continue to develop sound values and promote early literacy.
- Break Programs accommodate families during school breaks throughout the year, including holiday breaks and non-school days. These full-day programs provide a fun, camp-like environment; we tailor our location and hours to meet school district and family needs.
How to Enroll: New for the 2009-10 School Year! Parents will enjoy the convenience of enrolling their children online at www.discoverchampions.com
However, we still encourage parents to visit the Champions Program on site during normal program hours to meet our staff.
PLEASE NOTE: There is a 48 hour (2 day) processing period from the time a parent completes the enrollment process on line and their child can begin attending the Champions Extended Learning Program. This brief window of time allows our management team to receive the enrollment, review for accuracy and create the child's file with the required documentation prior to the child's first day of attendance.
All of these programs are offered by KLC School Partnerships in cooperation with the Wayne-Westland Community Schools.
