Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Call 215-426-8762 to ask about after school enrollment or summer camp. The site invites visitors to come by, but it does not explain how to set up a visit..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
The after school program runs 3 to 6 pm on weekdays, September through June, and serves more than 50 elementary students a year. Each afternoon has a healthy snack, 15 minutes of play, about 45 minutes of homework help or tutoring, and about 45 minutes of arts projects with teaching artists. The arts projects use poetry, photography, drumming, and dance to explore family traditions and Latino culture. The site does not list a current fee.
