After School Programs

For the first time, after school programs in Dayton OH have come together around what quality afterschool programming should include.

After school leaders and staff are using common metrics to measure their impact.

What makes a high quality out-of-school program:

• Trained staff
• Well-defined student goals
• An evaluation process that tracks achievement in math, writing
  and/or reading, as well as data about school attendance and social emotional
  development
• Research-based curricula that is mixed with enrichment activities that
  leverage community partnerships
• Practices that promote attendance rates of at least 80% to 90%
  for each child
• Activities that encourage family engagement
• A mix of children from different socio-economic and cultural
  backgrounds

After school programs should be offered a minimum of 125 days during the school year, while summer programs should be a
minimum of 6 hours a day and be 5-6 weeks long.

Yeah, we do that!!
