After School Programs 

 The AfterSchool Program (nationally accredited by the National AfterSchool Association) allows children opportunities to develop positive social skills in an affordable, high quality, licensed and accredited after-school program.  Children participate in group discussions, games, weekly clubs, computer labs, a community garden, our Byrd House Market, educational field trips, health and nutrition education, physical activity and making choices.
