SCHOOL AGE CARE OFFERED, MONDAY TO FRIDAY, FOR BEFORE AND/OR AFTER SCHOOL

Due to the added risks of the Covid pandemic we will not be providing Before or After School Care to any families until a vaccine is in place for the 2020-21 school year.  Posted 7/15/2020

The Shyne School provides student transportation in The Shyne School van to local elementary schools.  We will shuttle your child to and from all day kindergarten . Children are welcome for summer completing Kindergarten.

Washington State law requires all children 8 years and younger and/or fewer than 4 feet 9 inches and less than 80 pounds to ride in booster seats.  The Shyne School does provide boosters or you may bring one from home labeled with your child’s name.

Children attend The Shyne School all day on non-student days, holidays and school breaks (Winter, Mid-winter, Spring and Summer), included in the tuition.

You can find more information about our summer class information below.

We can drop off or pick up at additional schools if they do not conflict with the pick up times we already have scheduled.  In past years we have dropped off and picked up at Bear Creek, Cottage Lake, Eastridge, Sunrise, Hollywood Hills and Wellington. View the enrollment page for current schools and openings.

We have a small group of children that choose The Shyne School for before and/or after school care.  They join our afternoon group of children 3.5 to 5 years old.  We have a group size of 20 with a 10:1 ratio.  This is a good fit for younger children that are not ready to join large after school programs for their Kindergarten year.

Mornings Consist of:

7:00 – 8:30 am

Early morning activities… eat breakfast, play quiet games, color, and do puzzles.  Free play and supervised activities.  Depending on when school starts children may have a little time outside before it is time to leave.

Afternoons Consist of:

3:30 – 4:30 pm

Children arrive after school, wash up, have a snack and join afternoon activities out or indoors depending on the time the van arrives back at school and the day light hours.

4:30 – 5:30 pm

Free choice, Snack and free play until parents arrive.

Summer Curriculum

The Shyne School offers a lot of flexibility for parents.  We have two sessions, fall runs from September to Mid-June and summer from Mid-June to the end of August.  Not only can parents choose their days, number of days and length of days they enroll for, they can also choose to attend year round, just for fall session and take the summer off or attend just for summer!  Families can attend part of the summer if space is available.

We often have past students that attended Kindergarten during the school year return for the summer to enjoy our fun in house activities.  We offer a lower ratio of 10:1 and the oldest group age range from 5 to 8 years old.  Our Curriculum  focuses on three primary topics of study; Science, Structures and Things that go!  We have different visitors each summer and fun activity days like Wet & Wild Day, Things that go Day, End of Summer Party. We also do more field trips during the summer, but need parent help to take trips away from the school so we have lower ratios.

Some of our past summers have included:

SCIENCE

We will work on documenting the things we see through drawings, charts, notes, stories, sculptures and art.  The whole month will be devoted to the study of science.   Topics of study may include but will not be limited to animals, dinosaurs, and bodies of water, ice cream, volcanoes, growing things, environments, climates, bubbles, and insects. How do you make ice cream? Why does ice melt?  What is the makeup of a bubble? Why are dinosaurs gone? What kind of bug is this?  These are just a few of the questions we hope to find the answers to.  We enjoy watching butterfly larva form their chrysalis!

July 4th The Shyne School is CLOSED!!

For a HOT WEEK! Wet N’ Wild Week.  Bring a bathing suit/trunks and water toy or super soaker!!! Because we can’t predict the weather, plan on leaving the toys at school for the whole summer.

If you can leave an extra swim suit/trucks that will ensure your child can do the water play on hot days when offered! Water proof foot wear is best with wood chips!

STRUCTURES

Structures are everywhere; in fact you would not be standing without the structure inside of you.  Did you guess what it is?  Your skeleton!!  Some activities you will see are forts, cages, tents, theater sets, costumes, boxes, and 3-D Art.  We will be taking a look at the construction and blue prints of buildings, vehicles and the internal structures of animals and humans. You will still see Science projects, because they flow together.

 THINGS THAT GO

This is all about movement! People (exercise, dancing, travel, Olympics…), Transportation (planes, auto, trains, buggy, bike, tricycles, scooters, boats…), Animals (horses, camels, ox, elephant, dog sled…) and anything that moves with our help, electricity or batteries! Some things we may experiment with could be Yo Yo’s, pendulums, pulleys, skateboards, scooters, jump ropes, fans and different sprinklers!  I bet the kids can think of even more things!

Last week of fun and Review

We will be planning our Summer Party for the end of the week, repeating our favorite summer activities and packing up for the end of summer!

We will plan special visitors and field trips related to the children’s study projects.  Parents are notified before a visitor comes or field trips. Parents sign an overall consent form for field trips and medical care at the time of enrollment.  We will let you know what to provide for each trip and if there is an admission fee.  We will need parent chaperons to make trips happen!

Once I receive enrollment for summer we balance out our classes for the summer. We work hard to keep the children in their current class for the summer or move them up if we feel they need a more challenging class. We change the name of the older groups to separate the summer program from the regular school year for the children.  For the Toddlers we keep it as consistent as possible with the name of the program, schedule, class mates and teachers!  The Stargazer group is called Busy Bee’s and the Sunshiner group is called Butterflies just for the summer. Children may move to the older group in summer or move to the next group in the fall based on enrollment and teacher recommendations.

As we transition into fall, children will visit in the group with their new teacher throughout the summer and at the end of August.  We work hard as a teaching team to ensure your child’s needs are being met on all levels of development for a smooth transition.  Make sure you stop in and visit so you also feel your needs are being met and you have a smooth transition too!
