Kids’ Zone Information Geneva Park District Kids’Zone Program Philosophy Kids’ Zone provides opportunities for all participants to develop a positive self-image through experiences in a fun, friendly, structured and safe environment. Participants will develop their social skills through interaction and different activities including problem solving, teamwork and following basic directions. This program creates a stimulating environment where children are able to choose their own activities and projects that allow them to learn and grow at their own rate. Our goal is to provide a program that strongly supports the six pillars of character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. “Character Counts” and benefits of a healthy lifestyle will be incorporated in all aspects of Kids’ Zone. Before & After School Program A basic daily schedule will be followed that may include physical and team building activities, arts and crafts, a daily snack and homework time. Schedules will vary based on needs of children and space available. Kids' Zone is available before school from 6:30 - 8:00 am and after school from 2:15 - 6:00 pm.

If your child has any special medical, physical, psychological and/or emotional needs or receives special services from the school district, please list in detail on the registration materials. Lack of communication may adversely affect the park district’s ability to accommodate the needs of your child. Please allow two weeks for all requests. Discipline Policy It is our philosophy for discipline to teach participants to take responsibility for their own actions. We try to accomplish this through using specific directions, redirecting a child, positive reinforcements, motivation and leading by example. Since each participant has different ways of learning, several different methods may be used. Extracurricular After School Activities Children may take part in extracurricular activities held at their schools (scouts,clubs, etc.) To do this, a parent must notify the Site Coordinator in writing by completing an “Extracurricular Activity Form” for each activity the child will be attending. These forms are available at each site. The person in charge of the extracurricular activity is responsible for bringing the child back to Kids’ Zone at the end of the activity.
