after school programs

Supervised afternoon enrichment

After school programs are organized activities for children during the hours between the end of the school day and when parents return from work.

They range from academic tutoring and homework help to sports, arts, and enrichment activities.

The programs serve a dual purpose: keeping children supervised and safe while providing educational or developmental benefits.

The community center runs after school programs for elementary students.
