After School

     Be Safe aims to provide the same security and encouragement that are found at home. This program is well planned with developmentally appropriate materials suitable to the needs and natural play interests of children. Through the staff and diversified activities in the program, we hope the children will gain respect for themselves, a sense of responsibility, respect for each other, and the social skills necessary to become contributing members of society.

 

Specifically, our staff aims to help our school-agers:

 

• Contribute their ideas (communicate)

• Use their imagination and seek new experiences (creativity)

• Appreciate and believe in themselves (self esteem)

• Practice good manners (social skills)

• Exercise thinking skills (decision making)

• Promote good health habits and physical development (motor skills)

• Learn to care for themselves and their environment (real life skills)

• Handle their differences diplomatically (conflict resolution)
