After School

2025 After-School Sessions

About: After-school sessions are groups of up to four learners. Learners will participate in reading activities and games with horses and other farm animals. This course is for readers who have never participated in a Rearing2Read program. 

Date(s) and Time: After-school sessions run on Tuesdays. Learners are dropped off at 4 PM and picked up at 5:15 PM. Dates are April 1- May 20th. This program is full for Spring 2025!

Tuition: Thanks to generous donations from fellow families and local community members, Rearing2Read is a low-cost, tuition-assisted investment for a lifelong skill. In 2025 our program will run tuition-free, with a recommended donation of $125 per program/participant. No one will be turned away from this program due to cost. Do not hesitate to reach out about donations!
