Start the school year with a bang!
It’s almost time to go back to school and we are getting ready in KidSpace.

Some of the new features beginning September 6, 2011 are:
- Free help Mondays – Thursdays, 4:00 – 7:30 PM.
- A certified teacher on staff to work with students and parents.
- New technologies loaded with great learning games and quick access to research.
- The latest professional resources and worksheets to keep kids on track.
- Materials needed to complete homework; everything from pencils and paper to databases and advice from a librarian.
- Educational board games.
- Healthy snacks and more!
The Homework Center is a free, open space for elementary age students to work on and receive help with their homework in all subjects. Whether they want to improve certain skills or just have a place to complete their assignments, the Homework Center will be truly beneficial.
