Afterschool programs occupy a unique space in the education world. They exist outside the parameters of the classroom structure, and provide children with a space for fun, exploration, camaraderie and informal learning opportunities.
The Afterschool Resource Center contains a collection of afterschool resources
for children in kindergarten through grade eight. Teachers and afterschool providers can explore these resources to enrich their programs. The website contains resources for a wide range of subject areas including Health and Fitness, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Literacy and the Arts, and features both websites for children and activities. The Afterschool Resources Center contains ideas for stretching children’s imaginations, dance lesson plans, collections of children’s literature, interactive adventure games, painting projects, sports news, music making tools, virtual field trips, and a myriad of resources for making the afterschool learning experience a rich journey for children.
