FARMINGTON — Applications are being accepted for the 21st Century Kids of Franklin After-School Program, which will begin on Monday, Sept. 25. The program will run from 3 to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday at the W.G. Mallett School and Academy Hill School.
Research shows that 21st Century programs can support working families by keeping children engaged and safe during the hours after school. Students will be challenged with fun academic enrichment activities, including tutoring, homework help, mentoring, arts, prevention, reading and physical activities.
The program is for children who are entering kindergarten through fifth grade in Cascade Brook School, Academy Hill School, G.D. Cushing School and W.G. Mallett School.
There will be no fee due to a partnership with the Franklin County Children’s Task Force and the Mt. Blue School District.
Parents will be notified if the child has been accepted once the application is received.
