Program Curriculum
Core Focus
Our programs focus on three core areas of childhood development:
- Academics: With an emphasis in core subject areas: reading/language arts and math.
- Character Development: Including values education, teaching the importance of playing active roles in their community, and offering a perspective of society as a whole.
- Self-Discipline: Leading students to the realization that they alone control their actions, and have the self-confidence and ability to succeed at whatever they desire.
General Curriculum
The daily curriculum includes homework time, tutoring, reading and other activities that reinforce academic skills; structured games and activities that encourage focus, social skills, problem-solving, self-discipline, and more.
Guest speakers and field trips are incorporated periodically (especially during the summer program) to complement academic learning. Field trips include museums, sporting events, dairy farms and other local attractions. Special programs are also held on topics of particular interest such as etiquette and nutrition.
Parent/Guardian Involvement
Kids Unlimited stresses the importance of parent/guardian involvement. We incorporate parent/guardian sessions on a regular basis after the daily program is finished, and we take every opportunity to engage parents and/or guardians in the lives of their children.
Staffing and Student Ratios
While Kids Unlimited staff is independent from the school staff, we stay in regular communication with the school staff to monitor students’ progress.
Each Kids Unlimited location has 40 to 50 children, with a Team Leader to student ratio of 1:8.
Program Schedule
During the academic year, programs start 15 minutes after the school day ends, and runs until 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. During the summer, we operate 7:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday at school sites. Meals or snacks are provided during the program.
Cost
Participation in Kids Unlimited costs just $5 per week per student, thanks to the generous donations from individuals, businesses, foundations and public entities who make our program possible.
