Program Mission
The mission of TLC After School Program is to be a wonderful resource for parents that must work outside the home after the school day is over. Our goal is to provide a nurturing and safe environment where your children can relax with their peers after school. During each day children will fill their afternoon with art, outdoor play, snacks, reading time, small group activities and homework help.
