Pallen's Heritage After School Program 

Monday – Friday:   1-5 pm  Grades K-7

Safety is our priority.

Daily activities will include enriching games and activities that are designed with each child's health and safety in mind, in a fun and welcoming indoor/outdoor environment. We are in compliance with the current State and County public health orders and will include numerous protocols to maintain social distancing and other relevant measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. See below to see more of our safety protocols.

We help with homework.

Bring your own laptop and headphones and have a dedicated space with high-speed fiber internet, and have tables and quiet spaces for focusing on virtual learning. We offer homework support, reading support, bilingual Spanish and Tagalog support. Students must finish their homework before play or their martial arts class, and we monitor virtual learning time so you can see what they are getting done. 

We have fun.

We offer a dynamic learning environment filled with lots of physical activities, important character development, and quality friendships.  Once students check in, they join community circles, get dressed out in their uniforms if they have class that day, eat a snack from home, or provided by us, and then they can join different groups to play outside activities such as basketball, four square, or indoor activities such as crafting, board games, or reading.

Karate class is included.

All ASP students at Pallen's have their formal Karate Training classes embedded in their ASP schedule twice a week, but engage in Martial Arts training daily, focusing on discipline, respect, exercise, manners, self-defense, and self-esteem and a “Yes I can” positive attitude!

​PALLEN’S HASP PLAN OF ACTION

We are following strict orders from the CDC, Governor’s Office, and the Alameda County Public Health Department.These are the adjustments we have made to our camp activities to ensure the health and safety of the children and our staff. These new policies are for the safety of our Pallen’s Martial Arts family and will be in effect until further notice.

1. OUR INTAKE PROCESS:
  1. Parents/students will be required to remain in their vehicle until the student is instructed to exit. We will be allowing one student in at a time.
  2. The staff, and anyone else entering the dojo, will have their temperature taken before entering the building. Your child will be visually assessed and their temperature will be taken with a “no touch” thermometer. If temp is above 99 degrees,they will not be allowed to enter.  
  3. Hand sanitizer will be administered on the hands of all students immediately upon entering. 
  4. They will be assigned to a play area. We have measured out play areas so the children will be more than 6 feet apart but still close enough to socialize.
  5. They will not be allowed to leave their assigned area, even to go to the bathroom, without teacher supervision. We will make sure they wash their hands for 20 seconds and that the bathroom is disinfected after each use. 

2. AFTERNOON PICK UP PROCESS:
  1. We are implementing staggered pick up times to keep everyone as safe as possible. 
  2. Each family will get a 5 minute time frame to pick up their child.
  3. When you arrive at the curb, your child will be packed and ready to leave. A staff member will escort your child to your car,
  4. If you need to arrange a different time for pick up just let us know.
  5. You can reach us at (510) 483-6560 ex.103 or with a text to (510) 694-0648 at any time.

3. STAFFING:
  1. Two teachers will be on site at all times to maintain the 1:6 ratio required by the Dept. of  Social Services. We will have no more than 12 children on site per day as required by the ACPHD. They will be the same children every day each week.
  2. All Pallen’s employees have cleared a background check through the Dept. of Justice, FBI, and Child Abuse Index.

  1. All commonly touched surfaces will be disinfected regularly throughout the day.
  2. Anything one child uses will be put into a bin to be disinfected before being given to another child.
  3. Bathrooms will be disinfected after every use.

5. ACTIVITIES: 
  1. Each predetermined area will have multiple activities for each child to interact with. Toys, coloring, and playdoh are examples.
  2. We will still be doing our Zoom dance party on Tuesdays and our art class on Thursdays. The children will get to participate in these while staying in their assigned area.
  3. We will set up laptops for the children to participate in their Zoom karate classes.
  4. The children can request different toys or activities and we will do our best to accommodate them.

  4. Any child who begins to show symptoms at any point in the day will immediately be separated from the others and sent home.
  5. Due to a high-bloom-Spring, there will be plenty of coughing and sneezing. It is vital that we do not dismiss coughing, sneezing or congestion as allergies. For the safety of everyone, proceed as if you have a virus.

  7. We will require updated contact information for each child with multiple phone numbers for you to be reached, in case of an emergency.

  9. At this time, we will not be providing snacks. Please provide your child with two snacks and a reusable water bottle. All snack items need to be kid friendly. This means your child needs to be able to independently open and eat any items sent from home. We will not be warming, cooking, cutting, or peeling any items. You will also need to provide utensils, if needed. The children will not be allowed to share food. Water bottles must be brought from home. We are not allowing the children to drink out of the drinking fountain.
