Before and after school program
Windom Community School
Since 2010 BLC has supported the families and community of Windom Community School. We understand the needs of working families, and strive to create an environment where your children can strive, have fun, be safe and grow into strong leaders and friends. Our bicultural staff brings many perspectives and experiences to our program, empowering students to become responsible and caring to the world and community around them. We love to have fun, celebrate, and explore.
What we offer at Windom
Our program
Our program runs year-round and is divided into four sessions: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. Registration deadlines are listed on our flyers and news updates—but if you missed the deadline, don’t worry! Reach out and we’ll do our best to find a spot if space allows.
Your child will explore Latino cultures, guided by our diverse and passionate team who bring a wide range of lived and educational experiences. They’ll engage with traditional games from around the world, dive into stories and art from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and Indigenous communities, and celebrate Latin American festivities through music, dance, and delicious foods. These experiences not only broaden worldviews but will also help your child build appreciation for their own identities and the beauty in our differences!
At our Windom site, we also offer a variety of one-hour classes Monday through Friday around dance, STEM, and theater. These classes can be registered separately and are open to all, whether or not they are enrolled in the full after-school program. Check our our catalog to learn more!
Before School Program
7:30 - 9:30 AM Monday - Friday
Start your child’s morning with an energizing atmosphere full of fun, creativity, exploration, friendship and responsibility.
When they arrive, they’ll find engaging activities ready to go! Our mornings include outdoor play, music, reading, dancing, and sometimes even sampling cultural foods. Every day is different, with some days full of creative writing, free art, stories, gym time, and much more. At the end they’ll choose their favorite activity to end the BLC day, and get ready to transition to the school day.
After School Program
4:00 - 6:00PM Monday - Friday
End their day with friends and exploration with BLC! They’ll eat their snacks first thing every day, and enjoy fun activities that bring friendships together, challenge them, and teach them lessons through play. Our Bilingual staff help the kids absorb Spanish in fun and creative ways, without even realizing it!
