Neighbors For Kids (NFK) is excited to announce the addition of a new Lü Uno Interactive Playground System to further enhance enrichment activities offered in the popular and well-attended Kids Zone after school and summer programs. NFK becomes the second organization ever in the state of Oregon to add a Lü System that combines physical fitness activities with learning, aligning with K-12 education. Since it was developed, the Lü System has spread across the United States, Canada and Europe and it is available in nine different languages.
So far, staff have seen a huge positive response from youth in NFK’s afterschool program and they have been enjoying the Lu System’s fun and engaging activities. The Lü System required construction and electrical work in NFK’s indoor gym area in order to install
the new audiovisual technology. The researchers and team of professionals who created the Lü System built in applications targeting several competencies for youth, including gross motor skills, fine motor skills, sensorial perception, analysis, innovation, interaction, physical and health education, social and emotional learning, language, mathematics, science and technology, social studies, arts and much more.
NFK’s addition of a Lü System would not have been possible without generous grant funding awarded from Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund and The Roundhouse Foundation. In addition to offering the new Lü System, students at NFK’s facility in Depoe Bay participate in several activities, including visual arts and crafts, computer science and STEM projects, homework help, lego-building, music lessons, physical fitness and sports, and weekly martial arts instruction. Free nutritious meals are provided daily and are all cooked from scratch on site in NFK’s kitchen.
NFK’s board members and team of staff care deeply about serving the community and supporting the needs of each child and family enrolled. Neighbors For Kids is now operating their preschool program Monday - Friday, from 7:30 – 6:00 pm, afterschool program from 3:00 – 6:00 pm, and day camps with full-day child care are available on certain non-school days.
