Kiddie Korner is now enrolling
for our 40th school year. Our convenient location, within walking
distance of the Westmont High Speedline Station, makes Kiddie
Korner easily accessible. Yet our residential location provides
a safe home-like environment for your child. Some of the amenities
that we offer to set us apart from other schools are:
PHYSICAL
EDUCATION KID FIT AND FUN One morning a week, we offer Kids Fit
and Fun with Mr. Dave. His focus is body awareness, strong healthy
bodies, and self control among many other fun things. The students
work on their gross motor skills and learn about body fitness
using many different techniques. We spilt into groups providing
a half hour energetic session for each group!
OUR STAFF
Our staff is very willing and able to work with the parents in
toilet training. We have dedicated staff who will diaper, train,
and work with your child throughout the toilet training process.
We use motivation, a lot of encouragement and the older children
as role models. We’re very proud to admit that not one child has
entered kindergarten still in diapers!
COMPUTER
TRAINING We have a computer area that is hooked up to the internet.
We use this area as a teaching facilitator as well as offering
some fun educational games. We don’t encourage the children to
check their email, but it has been known to happen.
DISCOUNTS
Because we offer a great discount for siblings, we have a lot
of families with 2 children enrolled.
WALKING
SCHOOL CHILDREN We are only a block or so from Stoy School, so
we have children that we walk back and forth to their half day
Pre-K and Kindergarten program.
FIELD TRIPS
We take several field trips each year. We'll visit one of the
farms to go apple or pumpkin picking and we usually see a play
in the spring. We also will take walking trips that are within
blocks of the school. We'll visit the Crystal Lake Playground,
the bakery, and Stoy Playground as well as visit the Fire and
Police Departments. We also team up with the residents at Rohrer
Towers. The seniors enjoy the company of our young ones and our
children love spending time with all the grandma’s and grandpa’s.
SUMMER
CAMP We offer a fun and exciting summer camp program! Once a week
we walk to Crystal Lake Pool. We also continue Kids Fit and Fun
during the summer months. We take several field trips per month
to various locations and have a variety of performers visit us
at Kiddie Korner. In the hot "dog days" of summer, we enjoy "Wet
and Wild" days in our beautiful playground, using sprinklers,
the water table and our built in sandbox. Each day we have open
classroom – the children can choose which room to be in and which
activity they would like to do. During this time, we complete
art projects, snack, dramatic play and academic activities. We
have group times during which we have music and movement activities,
with a sharing time to learn about our theme of the week. We are
very excited about this year's program and hope to see you there!
