All families are welcome, why? Parental/Family engagement is a huge factor in your child’s development and success, and a big part of our village. We encourage your involvement by hosting occasional workshops and events on topics relevant to you and your family. Get involved and volunteer with us, apply to be a board member and help us grow.

Overcoming academic challenges in Reading and Writing can be stressful for students. We understand the importance of providing support in an environment designed for everyone's benefit. Our program policies are dictated by this philosophy, and designed for your child’s optimal learning and growth.
Your involvement is of great importance to our success. Our policy leaves you immeasurable room for involvement. This includes volunteering on a regular basis, participating in special events, and joining us for educational workshops. You’re an integral part of your child’s success.
We take education and behavior seriously. We understand that the classroom climate plays a role in how a student feels and sometimes performs. We want all students that we accept to the program to understand that rules and expectations are still apart of our learning environment after-school. We expect parents to reinforce those high standards as well, for our learning climate.
