Introduction:	The Bibb County School District has nine fee-based afterschool programs. Our fee-based programs are self-supporting programs. They operate from fees paid by parents/guardians. Each of our sites are licensed through Bright From The Start and are eligible to receive Childcare and Parent Services reimbursements (also known as child care certificates) through the Department of Family and Children Services. The expected outcomes of the fee-based afterschool programs are: to enhance and enrich the students’ regular day activities; to increase class participation; to improve homework completion; to improve academic achievement along with test scores; and to decrease discipline problems at school and at home. By providing learning experiences that are not part of the regular school day, Bibb County Afterschool Programs can impact the whole child; not only academically but socially and emotionally. The tutors of the afterschool programs provide time for students to complete homework assignments and provide one on one help for those having difficulties. The tutors also carry out lessons that reinforce or enrich the students’ comprehension of skills covered during the regular school day. These lessons incorporate higher order/critical thinking skills, problem solving skills, and STEM activities. The Afterschool Programs contract with service providers from the community to provide enriching activities that cannot be provided by the District. These providers conduct services that include but are not limited to: art, music, tennis, social etiquette, dance, Taekwondo, science shows, and live nature shows.
