The Clubhouse!
Kids need to feel like they belong. For the before and after school age children, we've created an "after school club" we refer to this as The Clubhouse. This creates an added sense of belonging to a group/club.
The Clubhouse is for the kids to kick-back after school, do their homework, socialize, and have fun. We will break into small groups by age and on some days by gender. We will engage in age appropriate discussions after school about how their day went, discuss any issues that may have come up during the day at school.
This time is very critical in developing social skills, confidence, feeling secure. Not only are their personalities forming between the ages of 4-7; but peer pressure starts during this time too. Teaching kids life skills to deal with peer pressure is very important - and will help them as they grow into pre-adolescence.
