Homework Support

Skilled coaches verify that all assignments are completed, assess each child’s progress and provide the individualized tutoring and encouragement they need to approach homework with a positive outlook.

Stop and Read

We help increase reading skills and vocabulary by providing reading materials that each child enjoys, while making independent reading a lifelong habit.

Art

Weekly art instruction generously provided by the Boca Raton Museum of Art is just one of many enrichment programs we offer, with opportunities for all children to gain confidence and deepen their interest in the visiual arts.

Field Trips 

Supervised periodic afternoon visits to various locations enrich children’s experiences.  Locations including the Boca Raton Museum of Art and Chuck E Cheese.

Gardening

The children assist in our garden in order to learn about horticulture, the value of organic foods and ecology.

Life Skills

Group activities and individualized coaching help children to recognize and manage emotions, develop problem-solving skills, and improve interactions with others.

Nutrition

We provide healthful after-school snacks for the children to feed their brains and give them the energy they need for additional play and learning, while they also learn the basics of healthy eating.

Mindfulness

We teach children to turn their attention inward in order to better deal with daily life situations.

Yoga

We teach the children breathe control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures for health and relaxation.

We teach the children the basics of baseball, basketball, lacrosse and soccer along with the concepts of good sportsmanship.
