What We Do

Homework is #1

The foundation of the Stone Soup program is getting homework done. Doing assignments after class prepares children to make progress in class the next day. It reinforces what is learned. Doing homework after school helps build a child’s self-confidence and mastery of new information and new skills.

Motivation to Learn

Statewide contests are held throughout the year for the Stone Soup children which include art and science projects, essays, video production, script writing. flag and logo design, holiday creation and book mark design.

STEM Education

Stone Soup Before and After School Programs help students achieve all year long with discovery of math and science and development of practical math skills

Arts Enrichment

Stone Soup contracts with guest artists to introduce the students to a variety of forms of music, dance, drama, and visual arts while incorporating customs of various cultures.

Nutrition and Fitness

Recognizing childhood obesity in 2000, Stone Soup hired consultant, Diane E. Carson, Ph.D. to initiate a nutrition and fitness program for the children.
