WE VALUE EXPRESSING GOD'S LOVE THROUGH: - AFFIRMING EACH PARENT IN THEIR CRITICAL ROLE IN THE EDUCATION AND NURTURING OF THEIR CHILD; - RECOGNIZING EACH CHILD AS PRECIOUS AND UNIQUELY CREATED BY GOD; - PROVIDING A CREATIVE ENVIRONMENT WHICH FOSTERS EXCITEMENT ABOUT LEARNING; - ENCOURAGING ALL TO GROW IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD; - PARTNERING WITH CHURCHES AND ORGANIZATIONS OUR "NORMAL" ROUTINE IS TO RUN AN AFTER-SCHOOL HOMEWORK HELP PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS IN THE 1ST - 4TH GRADES. OUR PROGRAM RUNS MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, 3:30PM - 5:30PM. WE HAVE A CORE OF VOLUNTEER TUTORS AND MAINTAIN A RATIO OF 1 TUTOR TO 3 STUDENTS.

OUR CENTER CLOSED THE WEEK OF MARCH 13TH DUE TO COVID AND SINCE THAT TIME WE HAVE PAIRED TUTORS TO INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS AND PROVIDED WORKBOOKS FOR TUTORS AND STUDENTS TO WORK THROUGH TOGETHER BY PHONE OR WHATEVER TECHONOLOGY THEY HAVE AVAILABLE. THIS CONTINUED THROUGH THE SUMMER AND NOW INTO FALL 2021. WE PROVIDE PARENT EDUCATION THROUGH FOCUS ON THE FAMILY'S RESEARCH-BASED, 13-WEEK "RAISING HIGHLY CAPABLE KIDS" CURRICULUM. THE PROGRAM STRENGTHENS PARENTS IN THEIR ROLES AT HOME AND IN THE COMMUNITY.
