Bio:

Tia started with AFTER SCHOOL in the Fall of 2007.   She is currently studying African Languages and Literature, and English at UW-Madison.  Tia's childcare experience includes working with the Even Start Family Literacy Partnership for over three years.  Her special interests include martial arts, dancing and percussion instruments of all kinds.

Shorewood AFTER SCHOOL meets in the multipurpose room for a variety of fun and learning activities. The children especially enjoy cooking projects, latchhook and scrap booking. Outside we have two playgrounds where the children can play on playground equipment, play four-square and active group games.  Shorewood 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.  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.
