After School Care
5 - 13 Years

The goal is to support students and broaden the base of support for education in a safe, constructive environment. It is indended to provide safe and educationally enriching alternatives for children and youth during non-school hours. The after school programs consist of two elements below:

1. An educational and literacy element provides tutoring and/or homework assistance designed to help students meet state standards in one or more of the following core academic subjects: reading/language arts, mathematics, history and social studies, or science. A broad range of activities are implemented based on the students needs and interests.

2. The educational enrichment element offers an array of additional services, programs, and activities that reinforce and complement the school’s academic program. Educational enrichment includes but is not limited to, positive youth development strategies, recreation and prevention activities. Such activities might involve the visual and performing arts, music, physical activity, health/nutrition promotion, and general recreation; career awareness and work preparation activities; community service-learning; and other youth development activities based on student needs and interests. Enrichment activities may be designed to enhance the core curriculum.
