Bio:

Dana started with AFTER SCHOOL in the fall of 2010 after completing her B.S. in environmental and adventure education from UW- Stevens Point.  Her experience with various-aged youth includes working with girl scouts, at summer camps and an environmental center, as well as teaching rock wall climbing and ropes courses.  Dana is also the Wander Wisconsin program director for Wisconsin Youth Company.  You are likely to find her biking or skiing the local trails, depending on the weather.

At West Middleton AFTER SCHOOl both the BOOST and Club children meet in the multipurpose room for a variety of activities— dramatic play, games, building structures from blocks and kinex, art projects, hands-on experiments, homework, reading and special projects.  The groups also have access to the gym and large school playground with equipment, where they may enjoy sports, group games and and actve play.  West Middleton 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.
