2025 Spring Component Information
Our in-person programs will include:
-
LEAP groups will meet in schools and community spaces to complete homework, engage in literacy activities, and have fun projects including arts, sports, dance, computer learning, and community walks.
-
Start Date and Times: The program will begin Monday, January 27th, and will end Thursday, May 8th. It will run from 3pm to 6pm Mondays through Thursdays.
-
If your child is not feeling well or someone in your house has COVID-19 symptoms, please keep your child home. If there is someone who is vulnerable to COVID-19 in your household (for instance a senior citizen or someone whose immune system is compromised), then it may not make sense for your child to participate in our in-person program.
If you participated in LEAP's after-school program in Fall 2024, you do not need to submit a new application. Please let your Site Coordinator know that your child will be returning in the Spring. Please only submit another application if you have new or updated personal information.
