In the state of Missouri, 2 out of 3 children do not have access to before or after school programs, leaving them with a significant amount of unsupervised time that can reduce academic success and influence unsafe and unhealthy behaviors.
UP After School is a safe and educational option for parents, and it is an enhancement to a child’s regular classroom learning. The program provides a curriculum-based approach to math, literature, character education, fitness and nutrition.
About Our Curriculum
After-school curriculum utilizes the best practices in educational enrichment to ensure children get a well-rounded education. Our educators are trained in Conscious Discipline. Our programs are accredited by the Council on Accreditation and the State of Missouri.
Conscious Discipline is a comprehensive classroom management program and a social-emotional curriculum. It is based on current brain research, child development information and developmentally appropriate practices. Conscious Discipline has been specifically designed to make changes in the lives of adults first. This research-based behavior management curriculum model empowers staff to use everyday conflicts to teach children life skills and encourage pro-social behaviors while increasing their own social and emotional awareness
To be successful, those involved require a willingness to learn, impulse control, and attention.
