After School Enrichment Program

ASEP provides the community with equal access to quality after school enrichment programming. ASEP combines Arts Enrichment, Academic Support and Health & Wellness into one educational experience. Here is what ASEP offers to our communities below!Comprehensive ASEP Comprehensive ASEP is our all-in-one after school program where students are picked up, fed a healthy snack and are taken care of, starting right after school until pick up at 6:00pm. All of our students are picked up directly from their classrooms and escorted to their after school programs.During Comprehensive ASEP, students engage in a variety of activities including Theme Based Learning, Homework & Tutoring Assistance, Arts Enrichment and PlaySEP. ASEP Language ProgramThe ASEP Language Enrichment Program is a student-centered, language and multicultural convergence model that serves K-5 Spanish and Mandarin learners. The ASEP Language Program commingles a blend of academic and a play-based learning approach. The ASEP Language Program is developed to meet the needs of our community by providing language learning experience to students in grades K-5 through a 50% Playbase and 50% Literacy model. Our curriculum structure is designed through bi-weekly themes aligned with art, music, Playsep (Physical education), Reading and Literacy Comprehension.ASEP Specialty ClubsASEP's Specialty Club programs offer the McKinley & Daniel Webster communities a part-time option with even more enrichment opportunities. Students are picked up directly from day school teachers, fed a health snack and begin club classes on site at the school. All of the clubs last 1-2 hours right after school and occur 1-2 days a week.Lunchtime Wellness ProgramThe Lunch Time Wellness Program is a joint venture between ASEP and day school administrations. The Lunch Time Wellness Program (LTWP) was brought to McKinley in 2009 to provide structure during the lunch-play period and to make the playground a safe and all-inclusive environment. In 2017 ASEP launched a LTWP at the Daniel Webster School Site. While focusing on fitness based physical activity, play, improving social and teamwork skills and conflict resolution in a manner that is fun. LTWP also addresses the concerns of having sufficient supervision on the playground. During the day school lunch recess ASEP teachers set up play stations for the children. Students are taught the rules of each life skills themed game and have a choice of what games they would like to participate in. These games are rotated to keep things fresh. ASEP was able to shift services to a virtual model to adapt due to COVID and continue serving our communities with diverse programming!
