Not sure if you are aware but the Pleasantdale After-School program operates above and beyond your typical after school program. Many generic after-school programs operate more as glorified babysitting services. They may offer board games, free play, and assistance with homework , but we offer much more than that for your children. The West Orange Community House and Boys & Girls Club is proud that our staff has broken the mold of the after-school program paradigm and has shifted it into an safe and enriching environment, and this program at no extra cost!
Do you know what we have been doing in the program recently? Besides our standard games, art, and sport activities we run our own Enrichment Activity Classes! On Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:45pm to 4:45pm the kids participate in our Special Arts & Class Enrichment Class with Mrs. Niki Seibert (Certified Art Teacher). On Mondays from 4:00pm to 5:00pm the kids participate in out FUN FOODS enrichment class with Katlyn Brennan (Program Supervisor). Wednesdays are Board Game Tournament Days, and Wednesdays and Fridays, the children alternate throughout the program in Our ALL SPORTS Enrichment class with Mr. Paul Kirsch (certified Phys Ed. Teacher in West Orange)! For more about the schedule , visit the website at www.bgcwo.org.
If you haven’t noticed, we have also had monthly pizza parties and fun visitors, like Great Scott the Magician! We have also and still plan on having anti-drugs and bullying workshops, Art Contests, DJ Dance Aerobic Parties, Robotics sessions, and so much more this year! Like I said before, this is not your typical after-school program, it’s an After-School Experience!
