Program areas at Nehemiah Center

The Academic Enrichment Program (AEP) after-school program has been in operation for over 13 years, serving children from neighboring schools through homework instruction, reading and math remediation, academic and cultural enrichment, and social services, including care in mental health and free medical and dental assistance. In addition, a special reading tutorial program is also provided for academically challenged students, which meets twice weekly with extended hours. AEP Summer - is an extension of the AEP that operates in June. Children required to attend summer school are transported to the Center after classes to participate in fun activities focusing on a particular country and its culture. See Schedule O.Last summer, the children worked with writers and poets through a program called "Writers in the Schools." They published a collection of short stories and poetry as an anthology. It was a powerful expression of their perspectives on life and their situation.
Discovery Middle School at Nehemiah Center partnered with Southwest Charter Schools to operate Discovery Middle School Nehemiah (DMSN). DMSN offers a personal, intimate education to children living in poverty. DMSN focuses on preparing middle school students to thrive in a college-preparatory high school. It also helps low-income adolescents of color understand why mental and physically healthy lifestyle decisions are important and gives students daily practice in making them. In addition, parents are an important element in this process and must commit to lifestyle adjustments to better support academic achievement. Family education mirrors and supports the curriculum. See Schedule O.The school prepares at-risk students for peak performance in high school by a hyper-focus on physical and social-emotional wellness, strengthening math and language skills, and expanding their experiential worlds using Houston as a classroom.
The Pre-Kindergarten Program provides an academically and emotionally enriching environment for children ages 3-5, with instruction for basic school readiness. The program follows a daily schedule that includes storytime, group time, snack break, center time, outside play, nap time, and enrichment activities such as yoga and music. The ten-month program begins in August and operates five days weekly from 8 am to 3 pm. Extended care is offered until 6 pm each afternoon. The Mommy & Me Program reaches out to toddlers and their mothers. Children participate in activities stimulating vital developmental areas: physical, cognitive, social-emotional, communication, and self-help skills. In addition, caregivers learn activities that can be continued outside these sessions. This program is free of charge.
The College Prep Program prepares middle and high school students for higher education and assists parents in navigating the educational system. Students receive weekly tutoring in algebra, English, grammar, writing, and reading. College-bound students are exposed to college life through campus visits and tours and are prepared for academic entrance exams through weekly PSAT, SAT, and ACT prep classes. Career assessment tools are used to provide both students and parents with vital information to make well-informed decisions.
Family Services - The Center offers Family Services for adults in three distinct areas: Parental Involvement Program (PIP), Effective Parenting Program (EPP), and Mental Health Education & Referral Services. The Center also offers adult education services such as English as a second language, computer literacy, financial literacy, entrepreneurial workshops, and microfinance for women in business. Nehemiah Ministries identifies and mentors ministry partners to share the Nehemiah Center Model, which offers multiple programs and services for children, youth, and adults. Womanade is a fund used to help families who are facing financial difficulties. The fund assists families in need with utility, medical, grocery, and other bills as needed. Our Christmas Angel also flows through this program.
