Our After-school Program at a Glance

An after-school program should be more than a place to pass the time until parents or guardians are available. Instead, we designed our program as a place for enrichment that welcomes and encourages kids.

  • A nutritious afternoon snack to support physical development

  • Building a sense of academic accountability
  • Developing a personal sense of independence and study skills
  • Strengthening emotional regulation and social skills

Physical Development

Rather than simply sitting inside for hours after school, our program keeps childhood development at its core. Tuition includes a healthy afternoon snack to help kids refuel before a meal at home. Movement-focused activities also help break up the routine and support physical development.
