the afterschool curriculum

Today’s after-school programs are expected to be much more than safe afternoon diversions for children. Increasing emphasis is placed on the need for the inclusion of a scholastic program. The problem: after a full day of scholastics in the classroom, children need—and deserve—some fun and relaxation. Principle Woods addresses both concerns.

Principle Woods is first and foremost a principle-based Language Arts program, hence the scholastic component. However, Principle Woods extensions have been crafted to aid the afterschool administrator in presenting the literature in an entertaining manner through engaging activities and crafts. Links between the stories and activities are clearly defined through step-by-step, easy to understand, inexpensive, educationally sound and fun projects.

In addition, the collection of original Principle Woods songs will allow your children to sing and dance while learning about the important principles that guide our lives.
