Many people have asked why I choose to run an afterschool program.
"Young people need the influence of caring adults and positive role models in their lives. Good after-school programs can accomplish that by helping youngsters develop the knowledge, skills and healthy habits to achiever their greatest potential." - US Secretary of Education Rod Paige.
Afterschool programs have proven to help students do better in school, gain and practice the critical skills that allow them to compete in the new economy. Children and youth benefit when they spend time engaging in environment where offer them various growth-enhancing opportunities, including activities and experiences that promote academic development.
As we continue to debate what children and youth need to become productive adults, it could not be more timely or urgent to do everything possible to support their healthy development in and out of school.
With all these in mind, I started weLearn Petaluma in our lovely home town. Within our afterschool programs, our key features are the Math Advancement program, and our Mandrain Chinese class. Visit us online at http://welearnzone.com or visit our weLearn Petaluma campus today.
