The Buena Vista Club

School year:we provide a safe and nurturing place for The students of Buena Vista elementary to go both before and after school. We are open daily from 7am until 6pm. In The morning we offer breakfast as well assist The children in getting to school on time. After school we provide a snack, a quiet homework room, and a variety of activities daily (outside games/free play, art projects, computers, free rug and art play, cooking). We have an average daily attendance of 120 children. By being able to retain our staff, we have been able to continue to provide these services to The families of Buena Vista at a very high quality. Nearly all The staff started as student here and have returned to work at Club. Some of The staff started working as teachers aides and are now fully qualified teachers. Because of this continued continuity, The Club has become a staple of The Buena Vista school.

Winter breaks:we remain open all day during winter and spring breaks while The school is closed. Again, we provide this service at break-even or a loss. We provide all day care and take The children on field trips as well. This important service is provided so that The parents can remain gainfully employed and don't have to worry about their children.

Summer camp:every year, we provide a summer camp program (usually breaking even or sometimes a loss), which runs throughout The summer vacation while school is closed. We accompany The children to go to a local park and municipal pool twice a week and go on offsite excursions once a week. The summer tuition includes payment for care, cost of field trips, and recreational swim, which also requires a smaller adult-child ratio. Providing this fun and important day camp enables parents to work and not worry about their Children's well being and safety.
