**Please note that if a morning program is available in your school, and you wish to register your child for the morning program in addition to the after school program, you will need to complete a separate registration form, which is titled below with the listed forms, and also available under the forms tab.

LearnStar cares deeply about the health of all students and staff, and we would like to advise that we will be following all guidelines set forth by NLESD for the host schools that we operate in. In additional to following all procedures and guidelines set forth, we also will be performing additional daily disinfecting of our spaces to ensure the cleanliness of all LearnStar spaces for staff and students. This year, each child will be provided with their own baggy of supplies, that only they will use at LearnStar, as there will be no communal supplies.
In addition to our staff being trained in First Aid, WHMIS and providing criminal and vulnerable sector checks, we have also implemented the mandatory certificate training, COVID-19 Work Safe - Best Practices V1.1a, provided by WorkplaceNL and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Please see the letter below, that was sent to all existing LearnStar families from the owner, in response to COVID-19 as well as the current COVID-screening form that students and LearnStar staff are to follow.
LearnStar is an educational after school program that runs Monday to Friday, from school dismissal to 6 pm. We are different from other after school programs. First, we are located right in the school so there is no travel involved for your child. Second, we do homework, one-on-one, in French and/or English so that children come home with their homework and reading done, checked and signed.
LearnStar was created and is run by, Caroline Whelan, a university professor of 25 years. All instructors are hand-picked and trained by Caroline to share her vision of stress-free learning and happy families. All have extensive experience working with children and have recent certificates of conduct, vulnerable sector checks, and are First Aid and WHMIS certified. We offer a 1:7 instructor-student ratio for homework.
We know how crucial it is to develop a genuine love (or even like) of learning as early as possible. Research shows that the right after school homework program promotes good study habits, strong work ethic, problem solving skills and strategic thinking. All of these traits lead to success in school and in life.
We understand the pressures and demands on today's families. If you are like most of us, your family schedule is bursting at the seams. It is simply not possible to be everywhere and do everything. Homework is important but it is a key stressor. Give it to us! Let an expert help your child with homework, tests and projects so that you can have quality and stress-free time with your child!
LearnStar exists to help students of all ages in a stress-free environment, to help them develop a solid work ethic, good study habits and strong time management skills that lead to greater academic achievement at all levels of study and greater success in life. By doing so, we will achieve our overarching goal of helping busy families de-stress so that their time together can be quality, happy and peaceful time.
And so the adventure begins.
Let it begin with LearnStar!
Kindergarten is a time when children acquire early educational skills, that help prepare them to be ready and eager to move on to grade one, and beyond. They are natural and motivated learners. Fostering and preserving this mindset is one of the most important goals of the kindergarten year.
That's where we come in!
LearnStar has a program designed especially for kindergarten students, providing individual LearnStar supplies kits!
Our kindergarten trainer is a retired teacher of 48 years, 40 of them at the kindergarten and grade one level! We hire and specially train select employees at every LearnStar site to engage entirely with our kindergarten students. We provide special programming including outside play, nature walks, reading, counting, critical thinking, self-expression, arts and crafts and Lego blocks. This programming is specially designed for kindergartners to maximize stress free learning. At LearnStar we know you do not entrust your child to the care of others lightly.
We promise to:
- Help your child foster, explore and preserve the love of learning and growing - academically, socially, emotionally physically and cognitively.
- Reinforce concepts that they learn in school, in a positive, fun and friendly environment with their own peers.
- Provide the highest quality of safety, security and service for which we are known.
