2021 Goals

The opening of our Peter G. Alfond Pathway to Wellness this spring is a huge step towards reaching our present goal of engaging in best practices regarding health and wellness to provide a state-of-the-art wraparound wellness facility and program that promotes the philosophy that a strong body leads to a strong mind and strong spirit.

With safety at the forefront we will continue to enhance our licensed and accredited Afterschool Program, the largest in the state, to offer the highest quality education, nutrition, recreation and healthy lifestyle learning programs to the children who need us most.

We strive to consistently assess community needs, like COVID-19 relief, and provide required services, like meal delivery and childcare during the days schools are not in session.

We are expanding the diversity of our enrollment to best serve every community member by creating a culture of inclusion and diversity that promotes racial and social justice throughout all our programs, policies and procedures.
