The Zervas After School Program, Inc. (ZASP) is committed to providing quality childcare for Zervas School children. The objective of the program is to offer enriching, creative activities that will allow children to grow at their own developmental level. The curriculum provides educational and social experiences that encourage children to develop their own individual interests, self-confidence, independence and responsibility. In addition, the children form friendships with children older and younger than themselves and establish ties with staff members. The non-competitive atmosphere helps children try new activities that foster individual growth. The age appropriate curriculum consists of free play, arts and crafts, science, social studies, language, music, drama, cooking, and physical education, as well as field trips. Parent involvement is encouraged through curriculum activities, guest speakers, workdays, conferences, program performances, and donations of materials to ZASP. ZASP tends to choose full-time staff members with an undergraduate degree in the area of education. Part-time staff, although not required to have a degree in education, must show some work experience with school-age children.
