DAVID LIVINGSTONE SCHOOL AGE PROGRAM
Ages 6– 12
In 2008, the Manidoo Gi Miini Gonaan incorporation expanded its services by listening to the expressed needs of the community and established a school age program which functions as a ‘role away’ program. A role away program means set up and take down of the environment is done several times a day. David Livingstone School Age Program is also licensed under the Government of Manitoba and licensed for forty children. We are located in the lower gym of David Livingstone Community School. Door access is located at the north west side of the building at 270 Flora Avenue.
CURRICULUM
The school age program follows an Emergent Curriculum in its programming. The centre has a diverse inclusion program where all children are included and an education plan is addressed with each child. There is a focus on giving the children a sense of ownership and belonging in the centre. Character development is weaved through all the curriculum programming. Programs are developed when interest is expressed by the children, for example, staff provides a karate club, drumming and traditional arts and crafts. Similar to R.B. Russell Infant Centre, this centre receives core funding through the province and additional funding is sought to provide programs of excellence as part of our services.
