El Carmelo Kids’ Club Activities
ECKC is located inside a large portable building on the campus of El Carmelo Elementary School. We are adjacent to a large grass field and an asphalt court, and have three play structures outside our doors. Our building is very comfortable, with heating, air-conditioning and a large kitchen. We also have a large area for group meetings, designated areas for arts and crafts, and indoor bathrooms. We have created a loft for children to relax and play in, and a play area that provides a home-like feel. In addition, we have a staff room and a partitioned office space.

ECKC’s schedule gives children the ability to choose from the various activities we offer. These include snack time, teacher-led activities, and inside-outside free play. Through this, we can recognize the individuality of each child. As a result, our children are not pressured to eat at a certain time, or to do a project when they feel like playing outside. Additionally, they learn how to manage their time effectively while having fun!

Parent Information and Participation
We believe that communication with parents is an essential part of the program at ECKC. Each family has a mailbox at the center, by which we distribute our monthly newsletter, snack calendar, activities calendar, and other important notices. We make an effort to speak with parents at the end of each day’s activities, and regularly communicate via email as well.

Our staff, children and parents enjoy family events at the center, such as our Back to School Potluck and our Winter Warming Party.
