Agassiz Baldwin After School Program

The ABC Afterschool is designed for parents with full-time and part-time afterschool and
enrichment needs. Children in grades kindergarten through fifth attend the program one
to five days weekly. Registration is on a first come, first serve basis.
The ABC program provides developmentally appropriate and engaging activities for
school age children, suitable after a very long and challenging day in school. Our goal is
to create a space where the pressure is off and children can relax. Our afterschool
curriculum, which emphasizes a childs social and physical development, rounds out the
childs day. We provide opportunities in areas that are typically given the least attention
in school: drama, art, dance, crafts, athletics, cooking, story-telling, special-interest clubs
and free time with friends.
We strive to help children develop the social skills necessary to be a part of our
afterschool community and to feel good about themselves in the process. We stress the
importance of getting along well with others, and we try diligently to help children
develop the abilities necessary to accomplish this. We recognize foremost that it is of
critical importance that each child feels safe physically and emotionally. Only when this
has been established, can other goals be achieved.
Our teachers are trained to deal sensitively and creatively with childrens social
problems. The staff assists the children in developing a social consciousness and a respect
for others as well as for themselves.
The ABC Afterschool Program is proud of its multi-ethnic, multi-racial, economically
diverse population and holds firm in its goal to provide a space that is welcoming and
comfortable for children of all backgrounds and beliefs. The ABC Afterschool does not
discriminate in providing services to children and their families on the basis of race,
religion, cultural heritage, political beliefs, national origin, marital status, sexual
orientation or disability.
