Philosophy

UP After School is a safe and educational option for parents, and it is an enhancement to a child’s regular classroom learning. The program provides a curriculum-based approach to math, literature, character education, fitness and nutrition. High quality enrichment activities expose children to cultural arts and encourage creative expression in a supportive environment. Unleashing Potential is proud to partner with various organizations across the St. Louis region and provide these experiences to our children. Core Values: Play-Based Learning: We believe that play is essential for children’s development and use it as a foundation for learning across all age groups. Individualized Attention: We recognize that each child learns at their own pace and tailor our program to meet their unique needs and interests. Family Engagement: We value strong partnerships with families and involve them actively in their child’s education. Inclusion, Diversity Equity, and Access (IDEA): We strive to create a welcoming environment that celebrates differences and fosters respect for all cultures and backgrounds.
