Mathematics
Mathematics: Math is seen as another language. We could call the subject “numeracy” in keeping with “literacy”, which may more accurately reflect our understanding of the subject. Children need practice in mathematics in order to build confidence, and they often do best when the approach to the subject allows them to grow their sense of number over time. A “spiral curriculum”, one that keeps returning to certain basic concepts while at the same time pushing outward, meets the needs of most children. We work with math standards established by the National Council of Mathematics and draw our resources from the Miquon Math Program, Bridges Mathematics Curriculum, Math Their Way and Marilyn Burns material.

After School Care Program
Lake and Park’s After School Care Program is designed to provide an “end of the day” experience which replicates what many children typically have when leaving school at three: some downtime, options to choose what one wants to do, a healthy snack, large muscle play, either indoors or out. The director of the program, Maudie James, is involved with all of the classes during the school day, as are all of the After Care teachers, making for a seamless transition for our children. The program runs on all full school days, from three thirty p.m. to six p.m.
Families may sign up for regular attendance; drop-in participation is welcomed, as well.
