Kids Connect is an integral part of family night for families with young children. Kindergartners – 5th graders enjoy a positive and supportive program designed just for them!
Each week our gym time consists of a different game that encourages cooperation and team building, rather than competition. We cheer each other on and have lots of fun. We focus on being supportive of each other and recognizing that we all have different skills and strengths. Gym time ends with a “High Five Circle” where we solidify our connections with each other and demonstrate good sportsmanship.
After gym time, we move to classrooms to work on an art project, a science project, or a workshop. Art and science alternate week to week (roughly), and workshops are interspersed throughout the year. Art and science are designed to be positive experiences that are accessible to all ages. Our volunteer Amigos are always available to help provide guidance and encouragement. Workshops are led by volunteers with a specialty or expertise in a certain area. Past workshops have included yoga, wood working, card making, sewing, and cooking, to name a few.
Kids Connect strives to uncover and/or encourage your child’s interests in a way that makes them feel good about themselves and their skills. This unique program allows kids to be kids, to learn about themselves, and to be proud of who they are!
