*After school program open to 2-5th graders attending MS.839 (713 Caton Ave) and P.S 130 (70 Ocean parkway)*
Many studies have proven the benefits of increased physical activity during the day for children both academically and individually. Our program believes if we teach children basic skills in a variety of sports and help them have the self-confidence and knowledge to be able to learn any sport then we are helping children develop a lifestyle of fitness and health. Our teaching style includes Alfred Adler’s theories on why children behave certain ways and we then try to identify the need the child is trying to meet and help them meet it in the most appropriate way possible. We apply the same techniques when helping children with their homework.
After school will include time for a light snack and homework help. Children will then learn and practice different sports such as soccer,basketball, baseball, flag football and kickball.
