Clarksville Elementary SAS

Offering elementary and middle school children a safe, secure haven where they can explore, learn and have fun. The Columbia Association curriculum is designed in accordance with the guidelines
and recommendations set forth by the National Association for the Education of Young
Children (NAEYC) and the National After-School Association (NAA). Students are
offered a variety of activities that may include art, science, music, dramatic play, and various
physical activities and games. Other activities are planned throughout the school
year. Our programs are structured in a manner that facilitates opportunities for individual
and group participation, striking a balance between self-selected and staff-directed activities,
with both quiet and active periods. Outdoor play is provided both in the morning
and afternoon, weather permitting.
Each Program Director plans his or her own program calendar; therefore, activities
may vary from site to site. The Program Director of your childs school is required to post
an activity calendar for your inspection.

Special Needs:

When a child with special needs joins the program, information to assist the staff in
best serving the child will be requested from the parent. Such information includes
instructions for care in an emergency, special dietary needs, effective methods of interacting,
etc. Introductory sessions with the childs teacher, parent, and SAS staff will
ensure that all pertinent information is communicated to the childcare provider.
School Age Services operates group care programs and our ratios are 1:15, as required
by COMAR. While we will endeavor to provide as much specialized attention for your
child as possible, we are unable to provide 1:1 care or individual companions. We are
unable to assist children with toileting needs and we do not have diapering facilities.
Please feel free to call the administrative staff at CA Headquarters to discuss any concerns
you may have concerning a child with a special need.
