Homework Policy
There is 30 minutes of scheduled quiet time each day for homework . Please note : it is not Kids ’ Zone ’ s responsibility to ensure that any child does their homework . The staff is happy to remind and encourage your child that it is time to do their homework , but staff will not force them to do so . The staff is not there to tutor or work one on one with your child on their homework . This program has been designed to be a fun , recreational program . We want to make sure to keep that energy and not let it become an extension of the school day . It is important for the kids to be able to participate in the activities planned because the benefits of recreation are endless !
