WHO?

The purpose of the After School Adventures Program is to provide a high quality school-age program for children. We seek to create a caring, supportive environment conducive to learning for students in grades K-6^th.

To fit the developmental requirements, cultural backgrounds, and characteristics of each child, the After-School Adventures program makes provisions and plans for a caring, compassionate, and challenging environment. The program design includes group experiences, self-selected activities, and an environment to meet the health, safety, and nutritional requirements to strengthen the child. To encourage participation of all children, tuition scholarships are available.

The program aims to increase children's’ fine and gross motor coordination through the use of arts and crafts, movement, and various educational/recreational activities, games and sports.
