Embracing the fundamental
belief in all children.

"I was really surprised and heartened when the kids would ask me to read with them as soon as I walked through the door."

Afterschool Excellence (Ages 5-10)

Our afterschool program promotes safe, healthy fun in a creative and challenging environment. Children are placed in age-appropriate groups and choose from a range of activities each day. Daily program choices include arts and crafts, outdoor and indoor play, cooking, computers, constructive and dramatic play, exploring nature, tennis, and science activities. Homework help is always available.

We collaborate with many community partners to enhance our afterschool programming. This includes field trips to Shelburne Farms, Shelburne Museum, ECHO, the Flynn Center, Sports & Fitness Edge, and many others. 

Strong partnerships with area colleges ensure a low student-to-staff ratio. Each semester many student interns and volunteers work alongside our staff, providing additional supervision and support.
