S.T.E.P.

    STEP has a long tradition.  Before STEP, the after school program at the Westfield Neighborhood Council was home to many of the parents whose children now attend step.
    Like you, we want to build a program that helps children continue their learning in a home-like atmosphere with caring, loving staff and volunteers.

Program Components:

    STEP is working with Westfield Education Professionals to create a compelte homework assistance, tutorial and enrichment program.  Some of the components under development include the following:

• individual learning contracts established with each child and his/her parents and the classroom teacher
• self-esteem classes/discussions
• discussions on the prevention of substance abuse
• hands-on science
• strong tutorial assistance from members of the Westfield School System staff
• parenting classes
