About Island Roots Programs at Tioga Way: 2022-2023
After School Club
Elementary-aged children need supervision, yet want exploration, fun, and freedom after school! After School Club provides enrichment in a discovery-based setting. We provide the tools and support for children to enjoy their days while developing lasting relationships.
Afternoons start with snack time, followed by time for play, activities, and homework support (as needed & requested). On-site tutoring with an Island Roots educator or third-party can be arranged on a case-by-case basis.
After School Club Hours: from bus arrival until 6:00pm, school days.
Participants enrolled until 4:30pm are welcome to stay later, when needed, at our extra hours rate.
COMING SOON: Island Roots Bouldering Cave! Participants will have access to our Bouldering Cave, designed specifically with our elementary-aged participants in mind!
NEW for Fall 2022 at Tioga Way!
Community Lounge: Designed for participants in grades 4-6 who are ready for more independence, our Community Lounge is where it's at! Loosely supervised by our After School Club staff, participants can come and go as they please (with parent permission, of course). Comfy furniture, high-interest games/activities, upper-elementary-appropriate books and homework materials provide a fun space for kids to relax, have fun, and get homework done with the freedom they crave - all with Island Roots staff just outside the door!
We suggest Community Lounge for those who are independent with homework and playtime, and for no more than 2-3 days/week.
Community Lounge Hours: from bus arrival until 5:45pm, school days.
Transportation Only: From Glover, Brown, & Village Schools!
For participants in grades 3 and up who are...
- enrolled in nearby programs outside of Island Roots, and/or
- whose adults may work/live near Tioga Way...
sign up for transportation-only and your child will take the bus (with Island Roots monitor) from school to the Island Roots bus stop outside of 40 Tioga Way. Then they can walk to their destination (with parent permission, of course!).
Transportation Only does not include staff supervision beyond bus time.
