More spaces in Fernwood NRG’s Out of School Care Program:
Fernwood NRG’s Out of School Care programming is thriving, with a dedicated staff team providing a space for kid’s in our community that is safe and inclusive. One of the guiding values for the Out of School Care Program is for children to connect with nature, which deepens their understanding of place and fosters stewardship. This is happening daily with the youth and the Fernwood NRG team.
A new school year has begun and the Out of School Care department is growing! Out of School Care has expanded to offer 24 new spots off-site at George Jay Elementary School, which kicked off late September. The Out of School Care staff team is ready to play, explore and do arts and crafts with these incredible kids.
Fernwood NRG has been working hard to support our community with more options for care. Now, with 24 new kids joining us, we are able to take our nature-based programming to a whole new level.
