About the Provider

Description: Our philosophy is to engage the parents, teachers and principals of all children enrolled in our after-school programs to create and sustain a learning community. All children are given assessment tests at the beginning and end of the program year to determine their strengths, weaknesses and progress. We track participant progress for the duration of their involvement in our programs so we can improve our services and better recognize developmental needs. More than just providing a safe space, our programs are committed to teaching children the skills sets they need to successfully navigate childhood, adolescence and adulthood. SQPA offers competitive wages to help prevent staff turnover. When a child connects with a positive adult or peer mentor, continuity is key.

Additional Information: This facility is authorized to administer over-the-counter topical ointments only; Initial License Date: 7/20/2009; There has been enforcement actions since 2003;
