Jericho Kids' Club 2 (General Gordon Schoolhouse)

Our program planning process is an emergent, program model involving input from children, staff, families and community.

Emergent planning arises naturally from interactions in the child-adult environment. It connects learning with experience and prior learning. It responds to the interests of the children rather than focusing on a narrow, individual or calendar driven topic. It is process rather than product-driven. Observation and discussion with the children is a means of obtaining both positive and negative feedback – feedback that can be used as a learning tool for future plans. A key element in successful program planning is incorporating essential values and experiences. Three activity domains (group games, self-directed social play, fine/creative arts) are offered each day. Social values can be modeled and experienced in an inclusive and supportive environment
