PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Programs run after school Monday through Friday from 3–6 pm during the academic year (September–December, and January–June). Low-income opportunities and Health Partners Plans grants are available. From Monday through Thursday, kids participate in our Homework Club, which gives structured quiet time to work on homework and receive one-on-one support and tutoring. Afterward, interactive lessons bring together art-making, reading, writing, math, and science, organized around themes that change each semester. For the science projects, there are opportunities for older kids to help younger ones, and everyone develops their special projects focused on a topic they’re interested in. “Fun Fridays” are dedicated to field trips and activities selected by the children themselves, like pajama day, cupcake baking, and karaoke talent shows. These recreation activities emphasize team-building and collaboration. At the end of each semester, we host performances and present children’s work for parents and supporters to enjoy. We are a certified child care center for children in kindergarten through middle school.
