Program Overview

The goal of the Albert & Temi Horowitz CKids After School Club is for children, Kindergarten to 6th grade,  to enjoy participating in songs, games, arts and crafts, and other exciting extra curricular activities. They will leave each day with positive feelings and fond memories in a safe, caring, and warm Jewish environment. A variety of age-appropriate supervised games, sports, arts and crafts, and enrichment opportunities will be offered, as well as healthy snacks, scheduled homework, study & reading time, and opportunities to socialize with peers.

Space is Limited! After you submit your registration inquiry, forms will be reviewed in order to determine availability in the program. An email will be sent informing of availability.

Our Philosophy
We Believe:

  • That loving, trusting, and respecting of each child gives the child the capability of loving, trusting, and respecting others.

  • Each child should be guided and encouraged to have a positive self-image.

  • Children need a nurturing, safe, and happy environment which promotes their natural curiosity and desire to learn.

  • Children should explore the world around them by using their senses.

  • Having creative teachers will encourage the children’s self-expression in a safe and nurturing environment.

  • Our educators serve as role models to encourage the children to respect one another.
