EACH CHILD IS GIVEN A HEALTHY SNACK TO EAT WHILE DOING THEIR HOMEWORK. ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE QUESTIONS OR NEED HELP. AS CHILDREN FINISH THEIR HOMEWORK, THEY SHOW THEIR GROUP LEADERS THEIR COMPLETED ASSIGNMENT. ANY CHILD WHO STILL HAS WORK TO DO AT 5:00 P.M. IS PROVIDED WITH A QUIET SPACE TO FINISH UP AND TO RECEIVE THE ATTENTION THEY NEED. IN ADDITION TO OUR HOMEWORK HELP PROGRAM, WE OFFER A WIDE VARIETY OF PROGRAMS THAT HELP OUR CHILDREN TO DEVELOP THEIR SKILLS AS A LEARNER, A COLLABORATOR AND A CREATOR.
