At Rio Grande Educational Collaborative, it’s our goal to help kids find their way to success through the development, application, and management of innovative programs that build on traditional education. We offer unique after-school learning programs that are geared towards extended learning. In addition to offering dedicated daily homework help, a key aspect of our program is the enrichment learning opportunities we provide through our own lesson plans.
All of our programs are located onsite at your child’s school, making it convenient for parents by allowing for effective communication with school staff. Our team meets with the school’s principal to learn where the school is strong academically, as well as to identify areas in which they’d like to offer more. RGEC then customizes our after-school program to help augment the school’s areas of weakness. Learning may include lessons in science, math, geography, literacy, and the arts. We also incorporate subjects that the school may have had to drop or minimize due to lack of funding, like music, fine art, performing arts and sports. Students begin their afternoon at RGEC with a snack or a lite meal right as soon as the school day has finished. Each after-school program is divided into two parts: homework help and enrichment time. During homework help, students are grouped with their grade level and may work on their homework on their own, or with the help of program educators. A key aspect of our programs is that they reduce the burden of homework on busy families, and increase the amount of family time each night. Students will finish homework before parents pick them up, freeing parents to focus on making dinner and talking with their children about the school day.
Next, kids get to break into groups for our enrichment classes, which are fun, enhanced learning designed to augment the school’s existing curriculum. During enrichment time, students will participate in planned group lessons and activities that have been selected to expand on the core subjects they learn in school. Kids are grouped by grade level, and the groups alternate between academic subjects like literacy, science and math, and other topics like entrepreneurship, nutrition, physical wellness and dramatic arts to name a few. These activities include reading and math practice that are part of our “disguised learning” methods. All lessons are planned, structured, led by our trained instructors and many are also teachers and educational assistants at your child’s school. All our program instructors are certified in CPR and First Aide and must pass a CYFD background check. Our programs are licensed through the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department to ensure that a high level of safety standards exist and the best practices are followed, providing a safe program for your child. RGEC’s program instructors provide children with a fun, nurturing program that is essentially an extension of their own family through guidance, inspiration and motivation.
