Programs
After-School Program
Monday through Friday from 2:30 to 6:00 pm, and on school holidays, children between the ages of 7 to 13 arrive at The Miracle Center to receive tutoring and academic assistance, participate in arts and crafts, sports, and a variety of multi-disciplinary performing arts classes such as Latin dance, hip- hop, drama, and music. These classes provide a safe, productive, and fun vehicle to express children’s creativity. We also provide children with a hot meal on a daily basis and take the children on a field trip at least once per quarter. The curriculum operates on a quarterly basis. Thus, children have a chance to set goals and see them through. In addition, their instruction remains new and innovative. At the end of each quarter, the children showcase their talents to parents and the community.
