Mission Statement

At the elementary level, it is critical to develop learners who explore, inquire and are able to work collaboratively to construct knowledge and develop skills. At EECS it is not enough to learn concepts from books and memorize facts. It is necessary to approach all content areas from both a foundation of discipline-specific knowledge and an inquiry-based, hands-on approach.

After School


The Erie Neighborhood House After School program creates a safe, resource-rich environment for children, featuring academic support, technology access, sports, arts activities and nutritional snacks.  Children participate in a wide variety of activities after school during the academic year and all day on holidays and vacation periods.  Our program offers up to 30 educational and cultural field trips and 12 family activities per year.  Our mission is “Partnering with parents to promote the well being of each child.”

The after school program is grounded in individualized attention and a choice-based curriculum that fosters independence and responsibility.  We integrate Illinois State Board of Education standards and EECS classroom curriculum into our core activities.  Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 3:00 – 6:00 p.m. and on school holidays and summer vacations 7:30 a.m. – 5:50 p.m.

If you are interested in enrolling your child in the program, please contact Evelyn Corona, Intake Coordinator at Erie Neighborhood House ecorona@eriehouse.org or via phone at 312.432.2218 or Fran Contreras, Site Director fcontreras@eriehouse.org 773.292.7103.  For more information about our program, you may also visit our website at www.eriehouse.org.
