“The Best part of the Day”
Our program is designed for working parents and will ensure that all children accurately complete his/her homework.
Don't worry we will work diligently to have your child at the top of the class. We know this new math and new ways of learning may have you a little confused...We Got You!
Ditmas Park Bubble will offer homework help and tutoring (extra fees may apply) as an Afterschool Program by well trained, experienced and educated staff.
Other activities willl be related to the lessons that the children are working on in class with a fun twist. There will be extra activities offered. More info will be given at the time of registration. Please feel free to email us with any questions to dpbafterschool@gmail.com.
We pick up from selected local public and private schools and can assist you with transportation if your child’s school is outside of our area. All children arrive at our facility promptly after their school dismisses. Our program begins with a light snack and afterwards children immediately begin his/her homework. Children work in groups divided by grade that are assisted by one or two counselors.
Homework assistance is the focus of our program.
All children are grouped by his/her grade and work with one or two counselors until all homework is completed.
Counselors are knowledgeable in all subjects and current curriculum's across all of the grades that we serve.
Your Child's Teacher assigns homework so that your child can better understand the work given in the classroom; therefore we make sure that every child understands his or her homework before the end of the day.
Our staff is equipped with all materials and tools to complete every assignment given from kindergarten through 5th grade.
