The program is very fast paced and exciting. The distinct primary areas of daily activities are as follows. The Homework Spot is a quiet room in which children can do their homework, read, write articles for our newsletter and participate in daily educational activities. Field trips take advantage of various museums and artists located in Tompkins County. The Quiet Area is a place for children to go who prefer a slower pace in order to read, play quiet games, or just socialize.
Computer games are also available.
Multicultural programs aimed at promoting knowledge and acceptance of different cultures through special activities, guest speakers and participants sharing. Special events such as Sororities and Fraternities sponsored parties. A snack is provided daily.
