So Much More Than After School

At St.Theresa, Kidventure strives to create an environment that provides all students, from Early Childhood to 8th grade, an amazing place to finish their day. Kidventure After School emphasizes the importance of academics, sportsmanship, respect for oneself, respect for others and respect for our community through fun, active, and engaging curriculum. You can find us studying, conducting science experiments, channeling our inner Picasso or playing games in the gym or on the field and playground! This year, more than ever, our experience and professionalism will help provide a program that mitigates the virus and provides for the health and well-being of every child.

HIGHLIGHTS

Providing Kidventure After School in the midst of this pandemic will require Kidventure and St. Theresa to modify the structure of the program to best support the health and well-being of our students, staff and families. In concert with St. Theresa, we have created a plan that we feel best mitigates the spread of COVID-19 while providing an enriching, and rewarding opportunity for our families. Please refer to the school calendar to determine any schedule disruptions.

+ AFTER SCHOOL AND COVID-19

We are working very closely with our schools to extend their policies into the after school day. The same Covid-19 protocols will be extended in the after school day for staff and students some of which include:
  • Isolating groups/pods set in the school day.
  • The same symptom and exposure protocols
  • Cleaning and disinfecting high touch points in rooms and bathrooms

+ PARENT HANDBOOK

We have compiled all our guidelines and protocols and they relate to After School during COVID-19 in our Parent Handbook. Please refer to this important document and familiarize yourself with its content.

+ PROGRAM DETAILS

Pick Up Procedures

You may pick up your child at any time during After School’s normal operating hours.

Where will my child be?

Child’s Age and School Pick Up Location
St. Theresa EC – 8th grade Gate near the Fellowship Hall on Durford St.

What if I’m running late?

A $1 per minute late fee will be charged after 6:00 p.m., cash, check, or Venmo, payable directly to the Kidventure staff members that have remained with your child. Kidventure staff will never leave a child unattended. Habitual lateness may result in an increase in the $1.00/min/child late fee payment or expulsion from the Kidventure After School Program.

Who can pick up my child?

Parents and legal guardians are authorized to pick up their child. Persons listed on your child’s registration form as additionally authorized will also be able to pick up your child. Please be prepared to show ID or Family’s Pick Up Number to Kidventure After School staff to ensure the safe release of your child.

If it is necessary for someone not listed on your registration form to pick up your child, please alert the Kidventure office in advance so they can be added to your list of authorized pick up persons. Kidventure After School staff will need to know the name of the person who will be picking up your child, and will need to see their ID at pick up.

Parent Visitation

Please refer to the Covid Handbook for our updated policy regarding site visitation.

Snack

Kidventure After School provides a snack to every child every day. Snacks are purchased through Labatt Food Services and are peanut and peanut byproduct free.

Discipline and Conduct

We understand that children are tired after a long day of school, but the same courtesy and respect practiced throughout the day should remain consistent in the After School Program. Kidventure’s disciplinary action is a three strike system, which is age appropriate.

Strike 1: Warning, Explanation of Possible Consequence.

Strike 2: Consequence.
  • Time out of 1 minute per age, sentences, sit out of activity, etc.
  • Explanation of parent call if rule broken again.

Strike 3: Call Home.

We work closely with the school and principal when handling discipline and conduct issues, in order to coordinate and universally enforce the same standards and expectations of all students.

Medication

If your child will be taking medications of any kind* during Kidventure, you must complete and submit an After School Medical Dosage Form. The form must be submitted to the Director on-site with the medication in its original container before medication can be dispensed. This includes over-the-counter medicines to be taken as needed, such as Tylenol or Benadryl.

All medications will be dispensed only by the Site Director per doctor instructions and your instructions.

*Kidventure does not administer shots. If your child needs medication or insulin injections during Kidventure After School, you or another authorized party must come to the school to administer them when needed. We will aid in checking blood levels with retractable needles.

Emergency Procedures

In the event of severe weather or any other potentially threatening situation, Kidventure will make every effort to notify you immediately regarding your child(ren)’s safety. Please ensure all contact information you provide us with is correct and up-to-date. If cancellation of Kidventure After School due to these circumstances becomes necessary, we will announce any cancellations in conjunction with the school via email.

Sick Children at Kidventure

Please refer to the Covid Handbook for our updated policy regarding sick children at Kidventure.

Medical Emergencies

All Kidventure staff members are First Aid and CPR certified and will follow appropriate protocol according to the Kidventure Emergency Operations Plan and their First Aid and CPR Certifications. Parents will be notified by phone immediately of major medical incidents. Minor injuries and incidents will be communicated to parents either by phone or upon pick up.

Discouraged Items

Computers and calculators are allowed in the After School Program for purposes of completing homework. However, we strongly discourage the possession of personal gaming devices (Nintendo DS, PSP, etc.), cell phones, iPods and any similar electronic devices not used for educational purposes. All toys, trading cards, and other valuables should be left at home.
