Introduction AGEM’s After Care Program and Arts Academy 1. What does our Afterschool Program? AGEM’s Aftercare has an Arts factor (Academy of the Artist for the artistic brain) Our programs can be defined broadly as one which provides after care for preschool and elementary students, who are zoned for schools in area’s of economic disadvantage. It narrows its focus to students who are gap learners, and those who normally are considered to be what statistics calls those who fall through the cracks. A more stringent definition would add that an afterschool program meets the supervision expectations of working parent(s) who want enrichment for their child, or have been recommended by the school for extra academic support. Thus, by definition, this afterschool programs will run after school, and often during non-school days, such as holidays or summer vacation. It is to have tutors with the expertise needed to work along with Metro Nashville School Standards, it is also designed to offer safe, secure places that children and youth can go to on a regular basis when schools are not in session. 2. Whom does it Serve? It is designed to serve children and youth in kindergarten through 4th grade. The schools zoned in this area will be provided bus transportation from home to our program location and back to home. 50 children preschool – 4th grade
