Moosekids

Westtown Lower School's After School Program

Moosekids is a fun-filled program provided for children in Westtown Lower School. The program begins at the close of their classroom day and continues until 6 pm daily. All Moosekids, grades PreK through 5th, have the opportunity to play games (both indoors and outdoors) and create arts and crafts projects. There is also an opportunity for the older students to begin their homework.

A little bit about some of our activities and events...

Cooking: In Moosekids we sometimes bake our own snack. Our recipes range from tacos to cookies. It is a fun activity filled with exploration and discovery! We talk about different kinds of food, measurement, sharing, and cooperation.

School Break Theme Camps: During School Breaks Moosekids offers different camps with themes. Themes in the past have included "Dinosaur Days," "Summer in December," and "Under the Sea." We use the school pool, gymnasium, and take walks around the Lake during this time.
