Abstract:
The 21st CCLC program in Pleasantville functions as C.A.R.E (Combining Academics Recreation and Enjoyment). Our target population is 150 of the approximate 4,000 students attending Pleasantville Public Schools and surrounding school in grades 4th through 9th. C.A.R.E. has put together various comprehensive programs that are designed to offer academic instruction, remedial tutoring, counseling, mentoring, character education, and artistic and cultural enrichment opportunities to students and their families. Most of the activities for the students meet the NJ State Core Curriculum Content Standards. C.A.R.E. offers the families, of our participating students, various enrichment programs such as: family literacy activities, computers labs, and life skills seminars.Our centers are open Monday – Friday from 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm. throughout the school year. In an effort to further support our parents, selected C.A.R.E. sites are open from 8:30 am – 3:00 pm when schools are closed for teacher in-service days, the NJEA convention, and spring break. During the summer, the program operates weekdays from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm.
