The Sioux Falls School District is now in its second year of running the out-of-school-time care model known as the Community Learning Center. With this model, more children and families are able to be served and care is more accessible to a wider range of people. Partnerships have strengthened relationships, and the organization is growing and expanding rapidly. All these developments shine a light on just how important out-of-school-time care is to communities.
Lights On Afterschool is a nation-wide initiative that also highlights the importance of care outside of school hours. The CLCs spent last week celebrating this initiative with parties at sites across the District, welcoming in families and communities to see what the CLCs are all about.
In this episode, we hear about what makes the CLCs special, what they've been working on, and plans for the future.
