The ASP at Maharishi School in Fairfield, Iowa, wa The ASP at Maharishi School in Fairfield, Iowa, was created to meet the needs of working parents or other parents that are in need of extra after school programs for their children. This program is designed for children attending Kindergarten through 8th grade. The program is committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment that meets the needs of our Elementary and Middle School students and families within a child-centered environment that is both relaxing and stimulating.
At our program we will encourage the children to balance their leisure time. This will be done by providing a structured environment, with plenty of opportunities for children to choose activities that will enhance their social, mental, physical and intellectual growth.
Structure of the After School Program
The ASP is offered only when the school is in session from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM.
If a scheduled school day has to be canceled, the ASP will also be canceled. 
Daily structured and unstructured activities include:

🌟Mixed age grouping
🌟Homework supervision
🌟Crafts and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math) activities
🌟Passive games
🌟Dance, yoga
🌟Movie-pizza-popcorn party
🌟Seasonal activities
🌟Outdoor activities
🌟Library

The After School Program contract and application form must be completed before starting the program.
