After School Teacher- School year/ Counselor- summer

BTC is an after-school enrichment program designed to provide a safe, nurturing environment after school hours to school-aged children, K-5. The space will give children a truly enriching experience that are increasingly left out of the normal school curriculum. To complement the increasing emphasis on text-book based learning in schools, children at BTC will receive hands-on experience that is project-based and emergent in nature. We are a children-centered space fueled by our mission:

- To provide a “home away from home.” One that is loving and nurturing for children

- To provide children with an enriching environment that will foster a passion for learning.

- To foster greater parental awareness of childhood development.

- To help strengthen the community and build partnerships among its members.
