Adventure Time
After-School Program | K – 6th grade
NSC’s after-school program, Adventure Time, admits elementary school students from the Richardson Independent School District, ranging from kindergarten through 4th grade. The NSC van picks them up at their schools and transports them to NSC’s Activities Center. The children first have time for snacks and recreation and then begin a program that involves games, crafts, doing homework, reading aloud, and other activities directed by trained counselors. In addition, the children spend time one-on-one with trained volunteer tutors who help them with homework or coach them as they read aloud. This highly structured program has been developed not only through experience but also with the advice of the principals of the local elementary schools, who meet regularly with the Program Director. The parents of the children pick them up before six PM.
