Child Growth and Development for After-School Programs
This training equips after-school and school-age care staff to understand and respond to children ages 5-13 with confidence. Rather than treating school-age care as an afterthought to the school day, it frames the after-school hours as prime time for social and emotional growth - and gives staff the tools to support that growth intentionally.

Guidance and Discipline in After School Programs
Homework frustration, transitions, mixed-age conflicts, low energy at the end of a long school day - after-school time is where guidance gets tested the most. This training introduces an evidence-based, trauma-informed approach to self-regulation, and grounds it in the "adult first, child second" model: the idea that guidance begins with the adult's own state, not the child's behavior.
