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.
