Staff also offer assistance with homework and tutoring. CTI's School Age Programs provide safe, enjoyable, well supervised activities for children ages 6 to 13 at a number of Greater Lowell schools. Programs operate daily before and after school hours and full-time during school vacations and during the summer. Site assignments are based on the school the child attends. Transportation is available from most public schools.
Lunch is provided during full-day programs and snacks are served each day.
All programs are licensed by the Office of Child Care Services and staff receive ongoing OCCS approved training and are certified in CPR and First Aid. A sliding fee is available for eligible families. The centers provide child care services in sites that include Lowell High School and the Greater Lowell Technical High School. Teen parents spend time with their children in the centers each day and receive training in parenting skills. By providing child care and supportive services, the centers help teens stay in school and give them tools to build a better future.
