About Pequawket Kids Association

The Pequawket Kids Association (PKA) offers afterschool child care and enrichment programs in MSAD #72 for students in grades K-5 at Brownfield-Denmark Elementary School, Charles A. Snow Elementary School and New Suncook Elementary School. 

PKA brings the school, community and local resources together to introduce and encourage new areas of interest and to build on students' academic abilities. 

Every day, students are offered an enrichment activity by a dedicated staff member, teacher, professional, parent or volunteer.  These activities are designed to stimulate students' interest, enhance learning, promote positive social interactions and increase students' positive perceptions of themselves. 

Students are involved in both energetic and quiet activities.  They are supported in the important goals of socializing with others, working cooperatively and developing problem-solving skills. 

Because parents pick-up their children at the end of each day, PKA staff have the opportunity to develop relationships with the parents which enable both parents and staff to work together for the benefit of the children.

Children say:

The programs are fun!

I love PKA.  All the classes are very, very interesting, especially Outdoor Adventure.

I like to be with friends at PKA.

I love snack!

I love to read books!

Computers are my favorite activity.

 

Parents say:

·         PKA gives my child the social interaction that is sometimes difficult to get a lot of in a rural area.

·         PKA gives my daughter the positive social interaction that she needs in a safe environment.

·         I like the homework help because I work nights and it is a big help.

·         My son is always bragging about new things he has learned or created in PKA.

·         I like the music lessons and extra artistic development.

·         My daughter looks forward to PKA days and always enjoys her time there.

·         My children can’t wait until the next time they go.  They have continued to enjoy the activities offered and have stuck with it without losing interest.

·         Staff is so friendly, patient, kind, and caring with the kids.
