Franklin AFTER SCHOOL meets in the gym on the bottom level of the school where the children enjoy arts and crafts, games, drawing, toys, make-believe, and playing with blocks and fusion beads.  We also enjoy tag, games like Sharks and Minnows, basketball, kickball and just playing on the playground.   Franklin 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.  Third, fourth and fifth graders can participate in 4-H programming.  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.  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.
