Many parents see afterschool programs as a solution for childcare while they work. While reliable afterschool care is certainly a significant benefit, the value of programs like Moab BEACON goes far beyond just keeping kids occupied. Here are some hidden benefits that can positively impact your child's development and well-being:

Academic Boost: Our program offers dedicated time for homework help and academic enrichment activities. This can help students solidify classroom learning, improve study skills, and gain extra support in areas where they might need it.
Social Butterfly Buddies: Afterschool programs provide a safe and supervised environment for children to develop their social skills. Through interactive activities and group projects, they learn to collaborate, communicate effectively, and build positive relationships with peers.
Confidence Catalyst: Enrichment clubs allow children to explore new interests and discover hidden talents. Mastering new skills and receiving positive reinforcement can boost self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment.
Healthy Habits for Life: BEACON incorporates healthy snacks and physical activity opportunities into our program. These habits contribute to a child's overall health and well-being, setting a positive foundation for lifelong choices.
Breaking the Cycle: For families facing intergenerational poverty, afterschool programs can be critical in breaking the cycle. A safe and supportive environment offers structure, mentorship, and access to resources that might not be readily available at home. BEACON collaborates with local organizations to provide additional support and opportunities for families in need.
