After School Special Program

David LaChapelle, Lead Teacher x231, dlachapelle@worcesterjcc.org

Our EEC licensed after school program is designed for children (grades K-6) and meets during the school year from Monday through Friday, 2:30-5:30 pm with an extended care option Monday through Thursday from 5:30-6:00 pm, August to June. Trained teachers provide low child to teacher ratios. Our philosophy embraces the total developmental approach emphasizing the social, emotional, physical and cognitive development of each child. Classrooms include a home work room, listening center, computer center, arts center, game area, and dramatic play area. Children engage in a variety of daily enrichment classes, teacher supervised optional home work club and use of our state of- the-art facility including pool, gym and playground (days and times vary).

The After School Special Program follows the Worcester Public School Calendar and will make every effort to accommodate the Paxton and Holden elementary school calendar for days when these schools are open and the Worcester Public Schools are closed.

ASSP transports children by bus from:
Worcester Schools: Chandler Street, Flagg Street, Jacob Hiatt Magnet, May Street, Midland Street, Nelson Place, and Tatnuck Magnet.
Holden Schools: Dawson Elementary, Davis Hill and Mayo
Paxton School: Paxton Center School

Children can sign up for any combination of days and may register for additional afternoon enrichment classes. Staff will accompany children to and from classes.
