2026 Spring Component Information
Our in-person programs will include:
-
LEAP groups will meet in schools and community spaces to complete homework, engage in literacy activities, and have fun projects including arts, sports, dance, computer learning, and community walks.
-
Start Date and Times: The program will begin Monday, January 26th, and will end Thursday, May 7th. It will run from 3pm to 6pm Mondays through Thursdays.

If your child is not feeling well or someone in your house has COVID-19 symptoms, please keep your child home. If there is someone who is vulnerable to COVID-19 in your household (for instance a senior citizen or someone whose immune system is compromised), then it may not make sense for your child to participate in our in-person program.
