Extended Learning Time.
The Potter’s House After School program is design to assist the classroom teachers in our community's public schools. The extended learning time promotes the social, emotional, and physical development of the children we serve. Our program makes every effort to strengthen each child's academic foundation thereby enabling those who are behind in their academics to catch up during the extended hours.
