SQUARE ROOTS
Square Roots is an EEC licensed afterschool and summer learning program that provides a holistic approach to a safe and healthy environment where youths ages 6 -12 (Grades K2-8) are challenged to grow as learners.
We accept EEC/CCCB vouchers. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
Our Areas of Focus Are
ACADEMIC SUCCESS & HOMEWORK HELP
With permission from parents, we use information (report cards, standardized test scores, and teachers’ recommendations) from partnering schools to identify the areas that our students need extra support in. We also have volunteer tutors, from local colleges, that provide homework help.
ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES
We integrate art, technology, and physical education into our program in order to: promote creativity and problem solving; use relevant and contemporary platforms for learning; and to help students develop and maintain healthy relationships with their peers.
SCHOOL & FAMILY ENGAGEMENT
Our program provides a holistic approach to education and care by bridging the gap between home, school, and community. Our EEC trained, bilingual staff builds relationships with students’ teachers, school administrators, and parents in order to provide the best, most informed, care possible. We offer family orientations, parent meetings, student progress reports, and participate in community partnership meetings at our schools.

“Homework is a priority- it is a must...Square Roots is really helpful in this regard, by creating accountability. Kenny’s family does not speak English at home, so this program is very helpful,”
~Evelyn,
Square Roots parent
