Capital Kids After School and Summer Program
A Comprehensive Approach to After School
A historic step forward was taken when a new model for after school programs was designed in 2000. Four pilot sites were created at area community centers. This model incorporates trained staff, state of the art technology, high expectations and high performance standards designed to gauge student's academic achievement and to also provide participants with a safe place to learn and play when school is out.
