THREE sites are available, each supervised by an experienced teacher/adult.
Counselors are college and high school students, many who have worked with the
program in previous years, or who are studying childhood education.
Students are assigned to small groups (by grade completed during the 20142015 school year) with one counselor who has primary responsibility for his/her
group. The grades are: Pre K, Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th only. By
