The children meet in the cafeteria for Chavez AFTER SCHOOL.  The space is divided into smaller interest areas to make it inviting to play and enjoy activities such as making up their own games, doing arts and crafts, playing board games and reading in the book/quiet area.  From the cafeteria, children have access to the gym for large motor play.  Outside the children can use the playground, large field and blacktop area for Four-Square, team sports, Capture the Flag and other games.  Chavez AFTER SCHOOL is a choice-based program.  We believe in offering many opportunities for kids to have fun and explore their interests.  Kid input is important too!  We encourage their suggestions for safe, appropriate activities.  We provide a welcoming atmosphere that supports friendships and builds social skills, daily homework time with adult help and outdoor play every day (weather permitting) for good health.  Scouting is offered at some sites based on child interest and availability of volunteers.  Many of our Dane County AFTER SCHOOL sites offer enrichment classes.  These include World Language, art and science classes.  Click here to learn more.   Enrichment classes can be arranged at most AFTER SCHOOL sites if there is enough interest.  Email janderson@wisconsinyouthcompany.org to learn more.
