Tender Minds

An after school program isn't just advantageous for children; for some, they're crucial. They improve homework completion, encourage good behavior in the classroom, and provide a productive outlet during after school hours when kids are most likely to engage in, or be victim to, a juvenile crime.

At the elementary and middle school levels, students who take part in after school programs can help them improve test scores. At-risk students can also see their reading scores improve by taking part in high-quality programs. Here are a few ideas to build an after school program curriculum that can help keep students engaged with learning both in and out of the classroom.

Helping those in need

The first step is to consider the curriculum itself. Most after school programs take a holistic approach to a child's well-being, evaluating how it can make a child more socially engaged, physically and emotionally cared for, and more committed to academics. Your program focus, like an arts program or focus on math homework completion, should complement those fundamental needs. This will dictate the staffing needs of your overall curriculum. You'll also want to survey the needs of your students and community.
