School Age Program

The after-school program focuses on enhancing the variety of subjects learned during the day. Children engage in both child-directed and adult-directed activities. Cooking, arts and crafts, theater projects, music, sports, computer literacy, and creative writing are included in the program, as well as time alone for homework or completing individual projects. Most projects and activities have no time limit; so school-aged children can return to their projects, master activities, and finish things at their leisure after school.
