The abc school age enrichment program serves girls and boys, ages 5 through 14, providing a comprehensive, safe and supervised program while parents/guardians are working or going to school themselves. Each child is encouraged and motivated to learn from the program's supportive environment. National studies have shown that children involved in after-school programs are less likely to engage in risky behaviors. After-school programs promote safety by reducing youth violence, offering a safe environment, and educating youth about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. This program is given onsite at the Brigham Center. The Massachusetts department of early education care (eec) licenses the program. The program served 211 children with 24,845 full day service units this year.
