A Seal to Showcase Commitment
A seal proudly displayed at out-of-school time programs that indicates participation in the Palm Beach County Quality Improvement Initiative and its commitment to offering high quality experiences for children and youth who attend.
Prime Time Palm Beach County provides resources and supports to afterschool and summer programs in Palm Beach and Martin Counties to help deliver high-quality programming that allows children to thrive socially and academically.
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 benefits and foster resiliency and life skills for children and youth.
The benefits:
- 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.
