Maples Program: 3rd-5th
Program Description:
Maples is a part of Albany Children’s Center. Maples serves children in third through fifth grades, providing high quality school-age care before and after the elementary school day. The Maples program provides a respectful, safe and engaging atmosphere in which the children learn in a play-based environment.
All children enrolled in Maples will be engaged in thematic learning experiences that involve reading, writing, arts and crafts, science, math, and social studies. The learning is play-based and offered both inside the classroom and outside. We implement a developmentally appropriate and culturally responsive program. We enable children to feel pride about their identity and we enable them to develop respect and appreciation for differences.
