APEC After School Enrichment @ Palmetto
Program Information
Our afterschool program is designed to support the needs of working families while creating consistent routines that help children build positive habits. Students are grouped by grade level and rotate through a variety of daily activities. Each day includes a balanced meal and snack, homework help from certified teachers, physical activities, S.T.E.A.M. projects, and enrichment experiences that support both academic growth and social development.
To close out the week, we host a Fun Friday!, a special celebration featuring themed parties, hands-on activities, and exciting group projects that give students the opportunity to learn, play, and connect with their peers.

Reduced-Ratio Care
For students who require additional behavioral support, we provide reduced-ratio care based on program capacity. Tuition is determined by staffing needs to ensure appropriate supervision and specialized attention. Our programs also accommodate on-site support from contracted RBT/ABA specialists, authorized through a child’s physician. This support may be arranged through an insurance provider or an external service.
