Mentors of Minorities in Education's Total Learning Cis-tem (M.O.M.I.E's TLC)

Description

M.O.M.I.E's TLC was founded in 2000 in response to the noticeable lack of quality early childhood education and development programs for low-income children living in Columbia Heights. M.O.M.I.E's TLC offers a multi-pronged strategy to strengthen educational outcomes through high quality out-of-school-time support, parent and community involvement, and the creation of innovative educational tools. The After School Program and Safe Haven Summer Camp provide culturally relevant learning activities, academic support, and strategies to resolve conflicts, develop leadership, and build self-esteem. M.O.M.I.E's year-round programs include the After School Program, Safe Haven Summer Camp, the Children's Gallery of Black History, and Parent/Community Involvement and Advocacy. M.O.M.I.E's TLC integrates creative curricula around minority history and culture to build confidence and empowerment, and to guide children in developing their greatest potential.
