Nearly two-thirds of voters report difficulty in finding quality, affordable programs. Twice as many elementary and middle school parents want afterschool programs as are currently available. It is because of this great need that Heart House was created. Heart House began it's pilot program in the Vickery Neighborhood of Dallas, Texas. Now Heart House is working with communities throughout Texas to plan and open Heart House sites.
All services are free.
We invite you to take a look at the programs offered by Heart House and we hope you will share with us in the experience of making a positive difference in the lives of these wonderful children. Afterschool programs improve children s grades and attitudes about learning because they have a safe, relaxed atmosphere in which to work. Afterschool programs give kids an opportunity to make new friends and build relationships with caring mentors and adults. Afterschool programs lessen the worries of parents who cannot be with their children after school. Afterschool programs can involve entire communities in the enrichment of children.
