After School Enrichment

Overview

Welcome to the ASE Program
A Message from Director Joy Pangilinan Kronemeyer

During our After-School Enrichment (ASE) program, you'll often hear "1, 2, 3, eyes on me." You’ll also see campers running to the Big Toy as they begin to play Hot Lava Monster or Banana Tag with our energetic counselors. As you pass by the multi-purpose room, you'll see the theater class learning new improvisation games while the robotics class is preparing for their big competition. This is my happy place.

In Country Day’s ASE program I strive to create a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for students in Kindergarten through 8th grade that inspires self-expression, encourages healthy relationships, and personal growth.

The ASE program gives students the opportunity to pursue creative, intellectual, physical and social interests. When class is dismissed, students are able to work quietly in Study Hall, learn in Enrichment Classes, and exercise and socialize in Camp. The academic day can be rigorous and intense for some students, and sitting quietly at a picnic table with a good book or conversing with a friend or counselor is fine.

I treasure witnessing special moments as children continue to attend our ASE program year after year: seeing a child make his or her first shot during a game of knockout, witnessing conflict resolution without adult mediation, noting an older camper helping a younger friend through a difficult transition, and so much more.

Small groups and class sizes keep your child focused and challenged after school. Our specialty classes range from music and movement to clay and game design. Our counselors are well-rounded high school and college students who enjoy planning and organizing activities suited for each age group. Our ASE teachers are often part of the school day program at Country Day. Those who we bring in from outside the school are highly qualified and experienced in the art of working with young people. 

The biggest compliments my counselors and I receive are if your child refuses to leave camp, goes home dirty and smiling, or even sleeps through dinner! Please stop by and see the wonderful community we’ve created for your children. 

All the best,
