Prime Time's work is embedded in a wide body of research demonstrating that quality out-of-school time (OST) programs lead to substantial academic, social, and emotional benefits for youth.
The benefits to high quality afterschool programming:
- reduced crime rates and substantial improvements to academic outcomes
- more equitable academic outcomes for children who do not have access
- fosters a sense of belonging while supporting emotional regulation
- significantly enhance parents'/guardians focus and productivity at work
Prime Time strives to provide children and youth with a wide range of hands-on learning experiences. In partnership with local content expert organizations, Prime Time makes available expanded learning opportunities (ELOs) to eligible afterschool and summer programs in Palm Beach County at no cost the program or families.
