Grenville Baker Boys And Girls Club Inc

Education grades k-5:for children in grades k-5, the club offers comprehensive afterschool care, enrichment programs in the arts and sciences, athletics, and a safe space to gather with friends and play! Arriving directly from school, children enjoy a healthy snack, get their homework done, and explore their interests in the arts, sciences, and athletics. We also offer children many opportunities for social interactions, games, and play time. (continued on schedule o)the long-term objective of grenville baker boys & girls club's education initiative is to provide members with the academic skills and the technological tools they will need to succeed at school. Homework help is a comprehensive homework assistance and tutoring program for members in grades k through 5 that provides the support, resources and guidance necessary to complete academic assignments. In order to improve our homework help program for younger children, we have implemented a more structured environment to our power hour. Beginning at 4:00 p.m., children travel to their designated classroom with their group leaders, sitting at their assigned tables and starting their homework. Each child is given a healthy snack to eat while doing their homework. Assistance is available for children who have questions or need help. As children finish their homework, they show their group leaders their completed assignment. Any child who still has work to do at 5:00 p.m. Is provided with a quiet space to finish up and to receive the attention they need. In addition to our homework help program, we offer a wide variety of programs that help our children to develop their skills as a learner, a collaborator and a creator. These enrichment programs include stem, coding, cooking, science, reading, and music/theatre. In 2024, the k-5 elementary enrichment program served over 344 children.
