SPLASH
SPLASH St. Paul's Links After School Hours program is designed for students in grades 3 - 8. The program provides child care daily after school until 5:30pm. Students can participate one, two, three, four or five days per week. Students need to be registered in order to participate. The flexibility allows parents that only need care for a couple of days a week a safe environment for their child. Some students may wish to come as an avenue of fellowship following school time with their friends.
The Family Life and Mission Center is the home of SPLASH. The facility includes a gymnasium, youth center, game room, computer lab and numerous classrooms.
Students of the Daniel Boone Middle School walk through the township park to our facility. On bad weather days a courtesy bus is supplied by New Rhoads Transportation Students of Amity Intermediate Center are brought to SPLASH by a New Rhoads bus.
SPLASH is staffed by volunteers from St. Paul's church. All volunteers meet safe church requirements, including criminal background checks and child abuse clearances.
Participants are encouraged to complete their homework assignments during SPLASH hours. Several staff members are retired teachers who can lend a hand with their studies. After homework is complete, the children can participate in activities including board/card games, gym activities, crafts, cooking, and more.
SPLASH received state compliance from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Welfare Office of Child Development in August of 2010.
Today many people rely on a cell phone as their babysitter. Have you considered what would happen in an emergency and all lines are tied up? What would your child do? What would your child do if they arrived home from school and an intruder was already in your home? Children need a safe environment and that is what SPLASH has to offer.
Daily fees are $15 or $60 for a full week. If you are interested in the program, call to schedule a visit or more information. The Director is Marlene Dadey. You may email her at SPUCCAMITY@aol.com
