Freeman Elementary

Our Expanding Minds program is funded through the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) and the After-School Education and Safety (ASES) program. We provide safe, engaging, and enriching before- and after-school opportunities for students. The program supports academic growth, creativity, and social-emotional learning while giving families peace of mind that their children are in a caring environment.

 

What We Offer

• Academic Support – Homework help and study skills
• Enrichment Activities – STEM, arts, music, sports, and hands-on projects
• Social-Emotional Learning – Teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving opportunities
• Fun & Safe Environment – A place for students to learn, explore, and grow beyond the school day
