Extra Curricular Activities
In addition to our Core Curriculum, our programs include: - Health and Fitness - Recent studies show that our society, through the comforts of technology and fast food, enables childhood obesity, which has reached epidemic proportions. Kids ‘R’ Kids knows how important physical activity is to any child’s development, and that’s why our centers include the Kids ‘R’ Kids Orlando Health and Fitness Challenge. Our unique Health and Fitness Program provides all the tools for kids of all ages to learn and enjoy how to be healthy children. Throughout this curriculum we emphasize healthy bodies, the food pyramid, family style dining, and physical fitness. We stress the importance of fair play, team cooperation, and physical well-being. Our oversized playgrounds provide the perfect opportunity for each child to exercise his/her muscles. Activities like walking, running, jumping and bike riding are only some examples of activities to develop gross motor skills.
Foreign Language - With our diverse staff, we have various opportunities for children to develop their language skills. There’s no better time to learn another language than during the early childhood years. In fact, a child’s brain is designed to learn multiple languages. Spanish is offered weekly in our Preschool and Pre K programs. - Computers - The future of technology is here. Kids 'R' Kids Orlando Child Care understands the importance of providing your child with the latest in electronic lessons and games to support the educational themes taught in school. Our After School Gym and VPK classrooms have computers available to the students to satisfy their interest.
