School Agers

Our school agers program includes breakfast and free play in the morning and snack, homework time, a discussion time and free play.  We know that children need to blow off steam when they get off the bus; on good weather days, they can go and play on the playground.  Inside, the children have a choice of activities:  drawing and coloring, fuse bead creations, legos, puzzles, board games and much, much more.  For the Christian education piece, they might read a devotional and discuss what they learned and work on developing some aspect of character education.

During the summer, we run an all day summer camp for our school agers.  They visit the library to check out books to read, have people come in to teach art and magic, have a weekly movie time and do water play.  They also take field trips to places like the Great Lakes Science Center, Roseland Lanes, the Cleveland Zoo and the Macedonia Rec Center.

I have worked with the school-agers for the last eight years and enjoy their fun and challenging behaviors. My husband and I have been married 36 wonderful years and have two grandchildren.

Miss Emilie-Assistant Teacher I used to attend NPCDC from 2-11 years old. I graduated from Nordonia High School. I’m a senior at Baldwin Wallace University studying biology and I plan to apply to graduate schools for Generic Counseling. I look forward to coming to work each day because the kids are always happy and they bring a smile to my face. I enjoy reading, playing with my dog Boomer and vacationing with my family!

Miss Lisa - Assistant Teacher - This is my 4th year teaching at Northfield Presbyterian Church Daycare Center. I have 3 children - 2 adult sons, and a daughter graduating next year. I also have a 3 year old granddaughter and a 7 month old grandson. I dreamed of being a teacher and a nurse since 2nd grade. After many years in medical, I came to the daycare and instantly fell in love with all the children, their families, and our staff. This is truly the best place that I have every worked and do not consider it a job. In teaching with humor and encouragement, I am able to enjoy the progress of every class which is amazing and what I am most grateful for every day. My passions are my faith, family/friends, teaching, music/dance, reading beaches and horses.
