PLAY TIME
Our children enjoy play time and we use this opportunity for character building. Through play, they learn to treat each other, adults and their surroundings with respect. It's just another way that we strive to create a positive and nurturing enviornment for our kids.
READING
We also collaborate with Rim Literacy to improve our kids reading skills. In addition to that, our dedicated volunteers help with homework everyday to ensure that the kids never feel overwhelmed. Our goal is to create a nurturing enviornment, where kids can thrive and become their best selves.
Rim Country Literacy offers after school reading for children in grades K-4. Children attend for a 20 minute session twice a week. The Rim Literacy volunteers work with the children in small groups or one-on-one. Children read digital and print books based on their reading level. Kindergartners work on building their literacy skills.
April 2025
As we look towards our summer program, there are a lot of new faces involved with the program. We welcome children of every school age, starting at Kindergarten, up to 18 years old, and still greatly appreciate the help of those students, as volunteers, even after they turn 18!
Our ground team consists of Co-Directors, Jamie Robinson, Laura Crossman, and Dulce Acedo, and board president, Suzy Tubbs.
We are excited about the coming program as we have restructured it, and look forward to the personal develop we are confident we will be seeing in our students!
HOMEWORK HELP
Children are given a mandatory 20 minutes each day which can be a huge relief for busy parents and ensures they are getting the support they need. Staff and volunteers are there to offer assistance if necessary, taking the pressure off of parents to ensure their children's academic success.
