Organization: RGEC INC
Mission: PROVIDE HIGH-QUALITY, ACADEMIC-BASED AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS.
Activities: THE RGEC BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS OPERATE OUT OF 50 ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS IN THE ALBUQUERQUE AND BELEN AREAS. WE UTILIZE TWO EDUCATION MODELS TO ENSURE A HIGH QUALITY AND UNIQUE ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR CHILDREN, THE E-CUBED MODEL ENRICHMENT MODEL EXCLUSIVE TO OUR PROGRAM, AND THE FOUR CORNERS TEACHING STRATEGY. OUR HIGHLY QUALIFIED PROGRAM STAFF CONSISTENTLY RECEIVES PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO ENSURE STRONG SKILL LEVELS. WE TAKE ALL OF THESE MEASURES TO ENSURE A CREATIVE AND EXCITING WAY FOR CHILDREN TO LEARN WHILE ENJOYING THIS SUPPLEMENTAL PART OF THEIR SCHOOL DAY. WE HAVE 1,508 STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN OUR PROGRAMS.
THE NEW MEXICO CHILDREN YOUTH AND FAMILY DEPARTMENT CYFD PROGRAM WORKS HAND IN HAND WITH THE RGEC BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM BECAUSE IT ALLOWS US TO WORK WITH CHILDREN WHO NORMALLY COULD NOT ATTEND THE PROGRAM DUE TO THE FEES WE CHARGE FOR SERVICES. CYFD SUPPORTS PROGRAMMING BY QUALIFYING PARENTS TO RECEIVE THE CHILD CARE SUBSIDIES BASED ON PARENT QUALIFICATIONS. RGEC HAS 400 CONTRACTS IN PLACE UNDER THE CYFD REIMBURSEMENTS PROGRAM AND 48 OF OUR SCHOOL SITES ARE CERTIFIED AS CYFD LICENSED SITES.
THE NEW MEXICO CHILDREN YOUTH AND FAMILY DEPARTMENT CYFD FOOD PROGRAM WORKS HAND IN HAND WITH THE RGEC BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM BECAUSE IT ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE NUTRITIOUS SNACKS AND MEALS TO CHILDREN ATTENDING THE PROGRAM. 130,145 MEALS WERE SERVED DURING THE PAST SCHOOL YEAR.
