Mission

Papillion-La Vista Schools Foundation strives to enhance educational opportunities for the students of Papillion La Vista Community Schools by offering the opportunity to participate in activities and take advantage of programs that would not otherwise be possible.

Kids Club:
The mission of Kids Club is to provide a safe, fun, and educationally stimulating program for kindergartners through sixth graders. The program offers age and developmentally appropriate opportunities for children to grow and develop intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically with the support and direction of competent and compassionate staff.

KIDS CLUB PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT:
Kids Club understands that young children learn best in an environment that provides opportunities for development and growth of the whole child: physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually. To encourage this, development requires a philosophy that allows children time and opportunity to:
- Participate in both guided and informal learning experiences
- Express themselves through language, drawing, writing, movement, and the use of materials and resources.
- Experience growth pertaining to decision-making, problem solving and creative thinking.
- Engage in purposeful and playful activities
- Stimulate curiosity and enthusiasm for learning
- Develop self-motivation, self-discipline, and self-direction toward goals
