Enrichment Programs
Helping Students Learn, Grow and Thrive
We are pleased to work with the outstanding teachers in the Downingtown Area School District to provide these programs that engage students and encourage them to combine technical knowledge and skills with creativity.
During the school year DCEF offers programs after school for students in grades 1-8. Programs offered are based on teacher availability. Not all programs are offered at each school each session.
Programs are fee based. DCEF ensures that every child has the opportunity to participate. Additional scholarships are available. Please contact rhamilton@dcedf.org
