successful completion of homework, a critical need identified by both teachers and parents. CLC meets
with parents and hosts family education workshops focusing on math, reading, and healthy living to
support learning at home. In addition to homework assistance, the prograin offers dynamic learning
clubs featuring enrichment activities such as art and music. Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Math (STEM) activities are also provided throughout the school year.
