IF Afterschool programs

Children explore their interests, build meaningful relationships, and develop the skills and confidence to succeed.

About Our Programs

Our reliable, flexible programs combine engaging enrichment, nurturing relationships, clear routines, and responsive partnership with families and schools. Students build skills and confidence through project-based learning, community-building, choice time, and activities that support safety, respect, responsibility, inclusion, and growth. Each site is led by a dedicated Program Director who serves as a consistent point of contact for families and school partners.
