After School 

Counselors construct lesson plans that corresponds to a weekly theme. Some of the themes included are educational and very creative such as Mystery week and Futuristic week. Every week students will learn a new theme based upon the calendar year or current events. Activities are subject to change without prior notice.

Specials taught by our highly trained staff are implemented into the curriculum along with STEAM, a multi -disciplinary way of teaching different types of learners by incorporating science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics into the lesson plans.

The programs structure ensures that each student has a portion of the afternoon incorporating physical activities along with study session during our classroom time. Special events are planned for early release days.

Quality improvement system is a structured and organized qualification to ensure the health and safety of children and youth in the program. The administration utilizes sound business practices and promotes the development, training, and retention of qualified staff and uses a multi-level system to improve the quality of our afterschool program based on the Quality Standards for Afterschool, which specializes in training's to help our program effectively develop and deliver high-quality out-of-school time (OST) experiences for our students, youth and their families.

After School Connections provide administration service, marketing, customer service, payment processing and support for those schools that operate their own aftercare programs.

In an effort to give Palm Beach County's children and youth access to a wide range of "Experiences and Learning Opportunities", After School Connections has partnered with the Palm Beach Prime Time organization which offer programs that include short-term and long-term programming in such areas as academics; health and wellness; integrated arts and creativity; and positive youth development. These activities are provided by contracted content experts, which enhance or supplement existing out-of-school (OST) time programming (i.e., after school, summer, school breaks, etc.).
