Van Hise AFTER SCHOOL meets in the spacious cafeteria, where both BOOST and Club have their own areas to choose from a variety of engaging activities.  The cafeteria is used for homework time, art and craft projects, Legos, games, snack time and other activities.  We use the gym and large playground for large group games, basketball, soccer, tag and four-square.  Van Hise 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.
