More About Us
We are a family run, family-oriented child-care center. Our focus is on the happiness and well-being of your child. Our goal is to be your child’s “home away from home.” After School Adventures has been open since 1997.
The center is located at 1855 Curtner Ave, on the campus of Bagby Elementary School. It is owned and directed by Mrs. Nasrin Zarkub. The center operates Monday-Friday on a year-round basis. The center opens at 7:00am and closes at 6:00pm. We provide childcare services for school age kids (K-5th grade). The center is closed for the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and the school’s Christmas Break week.
Our Before and After school program is designed for children ages five to twelve who attend Bagby Elementary School. A breakfast and afternoon snack are provided. Our program presents a variety of activities to meet the child’s needs: outdoor play, table games, cooking activities, quiet time, arts and crafts and a supervised homework period. Field trips may be scheduled on extended days and Summer Camp.
Mission:
At After School Adventures, we believe each child is a unique individual who deserves the best. We are committed to providing a quality child care program in a safe, warm and loving environment where a child’s individuality can flourish. For older kids we do have special emphasis on helping children with their homework. We know that parents are quite busy and when they come home, they would like to spend time with their children and not have more chores. It is important to us to help children finish their required work for school as much as possible.
Vision:
With guidance from qualified teachers, a child will learn acceptable social behavior through use of behavior modification and positive reinforcement. The child will be encouraged to develop a positive sense of self and have many happy experiences. We provide an enriching environment that encourages a child to learn through active play, thus enhancing his/her overall development. Our program is structured to ensure a feeling of security but is designed to meet individual needs and allow a child to develop at his/her own pace.
We believe that parents/guardians are the primary educators of their children. The role of our program is to assist the parent(s) in the care and education of each child. As such we believe in a strong parent/teacher partnership.
All parents/guardians are encouraged to:
- Visit the center at any time;
- Share any special talents or hobbies with their child’s class.
We believe that a child’s work is his play and his play is his work. Children learn through play so the play at After School Adventures is structured to maximize a child’s success and minimize failure, which allows children to meet their needs for acceptance, affection, and approval. Children gain a strong sense of self-esteem and social competence through hands-on experience in a safe and supportive environment that respects individual needs, cultures and preferences.
Our philosophy is based on three basic beliefs:
- Children need to express themselves through interactions with nurturing adults and peers while being encouraged to be individuals.
- Children need an environment that responds to their individual needs and development, while maintaining a safe and healthy atmosphere.
- Children need to be respected, with the opportunity to make choices within planned age and individually appropriate activities.
