Out of School and Summer Care

AppleTree is the community’s only full-time, year-round, provider of after school care. Last year’s summer program focused on preventing the loss of academic gain. Certified teachers provided hands on activities that aided in the development of literacy and mathematic skills. Reading is Fundamental (RIF) also continued in full swing as AppleTree partnered with the Sierra County Jr. Women’s Club. The Kiwanis club added a new level of excitement with fun-filled activities and animated reading during book distributions. Last year three free books were given to children from age three until third grade. Last summer was packed with music, art, swimming, field trips, and more due to the funding provided by the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) grant.
