A.K. Wells offers programs in areas of child care, job readiness training, cultural
awareness through performing arts, and nutrition assistance.  Each component
is structured to meet the needs of children and families regardless of their
economic status.  Upon completion of our programs children and parents walk
away with dignity in knowing that financial status does not dictate their success in
life.


Child Care Program
AKW Child Care Programs are designed for low-income families with children 6
weeks to 6 years of age.  Before and after school programs are designed for
children 6 to 12 years of age.  Our Creative Curriculum model allows children to
explore and learn while reaching their developmental milestones.  All activities
include choice, language development, games, crafts, songs, stories and large
muscle activities.  Classrooms are literacy rich to encourage language
development. Classroom set up is intended to promote independence. Children
are always encouraged to respect the rights of others and that everyone’s dream
is achievable.  Our hours of operation are from 6 a.m. until 9 p.m.

Classrooms are designed to allow children the opportunity to make choices
about where they will play and what materials will aid them.  Each classroom has
a basic work activity area that includes:
•        Manipulative
•        Block Area
•        Art Area
•        Dramatic Play Area
•        Quiet Area

In additional to the basic activity areas, classrooms include:
•        Music Area
•        Writing Area
•        Woodworking Area
•        Sand and Water Area
•        Math/Science Area

Before/After School
The AKW Before/After School Program will address the unique matters of
temporary care.  Activities will be designed to build group organization and
enjoyment in a short-term care setting.  Children will be offered choices within a
range appropriate for children enrolled and in attendance on a specific day.  
These activities could include cooking, arts and crafts, computer time, drama,
music, tutoring and outdoor experiences.  AKW offers the possibility for additional
programming space and activities.
