School Age Program

P1150600

Our School Age Program (SAP) is a year-round out-of-school-time program where children and youth can enhance their academic, social, and personal skills in a recreational environment. The School Age Program provides a comfortable, safe, fun place for children and youth to unwind, play, practice skills, and interact with caring adults. Our participants also have access to our computer labs to work on homework and play educational games as part of SAP's regular programming. Program staff provides supervision to the children to help with their homework and address questions related to computer usage. 

School Age Program also provides education in the areas of social-emotional development and health and nutrition. During the summertime and other school breaks, our School Age Program is open for full-day programming and special activities.

 

School Age Program

Casa Central's School Age Program provides a safe, nurturing environment that responds to the needs of the children. Activities stimulate involvement from children and work toward the following goals:

  • To increase reading and math skills through academic assistance and educational tools
  • To develop social-emotional skills through the Second Step Social-Emotional Curriculum
  • To enhance self image through adult encouragement and the achievement of personal goals
  • To increase appreciation for cultural diversity through multicultural celebrations that incorporate dance, food, and music
