PEACE After-School Program

Our new after-school program, PEACE (Peralta’s Enriching and Creative Environment), will be open from the first day of school through the last day. PEACE will provide extended care from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on every school day and on many school holidays.

The program will begin at 7:30 a.m. Aug. 30, and enrichment class lists will be posted during the first week of school. Structured classes will begin during the second week of school.

This sliding scale program is designed to meet the needs of all Peralta families, with a wide range of enrichment classes, homework time, active play, and even an option for quiet playtime for kids who need a break.

The program is administered by the nonprofit group Aspiranet, which has been running our after-school enrichment classes (known to us as PASEP) for the past two years. Sherice Tyler will continue as site coordinator for the program, and many of her staff will return as well.

The more people who sign up for the program, the more classes PEACE will offer! If you have ideas for classes, questions or suggestions for the program, please contact Site Director Sherice Tyler at styler AT aspiranet DOT org.

PEACE will be able to serve all families regardless of financial status. Click here to download a spreadsheet with program fees and income requirements, or scroll down to see the full rate tables.

If you are an incoming kindergarten family, you will receive information and registration forms at your pre-kindergarten assessment. You can also download a registration form with class information here. Please return it to the PEACE box in the office.
