Program Philosophy

The Ann Arbor Public Schools Community Education and Recreation Department is committed to enhancing the overall well-being of children who attend our School Age Child Care Program. Our program is designed to both enrich and complement the child’s school experience. To that end, we strive to provide:

  1. A safe, healthy, stable environment.

  2. A capable, sensitive, caring and energetic staff who understand the needs of children in a childcare environment and who take part in ongoing staff development.

  3. Well-organized, age-appropriate activities and games for recreation and skill acquisition, using materials in good condition.

  4. Realistic situations for informally learning new skills, for learning to take appropriate responsibility for the childcare environment, and for the practice and mastery of ways to get along well with other children and adults.

  5. An environment in which children’s prior knowledge and natural interests provide a platform for growth and development through organized play and activities.

  6. An extension of the school environment and its advantages of diversity and community.

 

The School Age Child Care Program welcomes all people in the community to participate in all programs. The Ann Arbor Board of Education's Fair Treatment policy directs that all programs and facilities comply with the following: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, 1964; Title IX, Educational Amendments of 1972; Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Public Law 93-112, Section 504; The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, et. al. Access to programs and facilities is intended to be non-discriminatory on the basis of race, color, national origin, creed, age, sex, physical, emotional and/or mental limitations, and sexual orientation. This same policy guarantees due process and confidentiality for individuals with complaints. For further information on special accommodations or if any program or facility is found to be non-accommodating, please call 734-994-2300.
