PAW Steps Up to Help Parents in the Time of COVID-19

Summer is rapidly drawing to a close and the kids are going back to school, either online or in person. While it is a new world, if the last several months have taught us anything, it is that kids don’t stop being kids just because of the pandemic. While the world is getting used to the new normal, parents are faced with the added challenge of providing for their children the structure, socialization, and safety during after school hours so necessary to their well-being. Of course, the challenge is further compounded by the fact that the pandemic has had a devastating effect on the economy and family finances. 

Fortunately, many after school program providers are active members of the community and are sensitive to the needs of the families they serve and are stepping up to help. For parents looking to enroll children in after school programming, but are prevented by financial hardship, relief is at hand. Performing Arts Workshops has been offering arts-based after school and summer camp programming for over 30 years. Their long-standing mission of providing quality arts-based classes and camps to children regardless of finances has been made possible through their scholarship and discount programs. One of the most noted is PAW’s Ambassador Scholarship. The PAW Ambassador Scholarship is a service-in-exchange for tuition program. By volunteering just 1 day (which is now just 4 hours as your schedule permits) to do outreach and networking online to further PAW’s arts education mission, parents will receive 50% off their tuition.

Cheryl Appleman, president of Performing Arts Workshops adds, “We know many of the families we serve. We know what they’re going through. When your child wants to try something new and you have to tell them, ‘no’, that really hurts. I know what that’s like No child or parent should go through that. We developed our scholarship and discount programs because I was a scholarship kid, too. My dance teacher took me under her wing and really gave me guidance and structure I needed. Scholarships made it possible. It changed my life.”

School may still be on Zoom,  but the options for FUN & RECHARGING activities are endless! A new year marks a time for setting new goals, kids entering a new school term, and everyone having a fresh start. While last year was very different than most, our new year can still be symbolic of new beginnings. This new year, it is more important than ever to ensure that you and your children are engaging in fun and recharging experiences to keep your spirits up, to spread joy, and to maintain stamina for school on Zoom. It is the perfect time to relax, to recharge, to have fun with the family, to make happy memories with your family, and to sign your children up for online classes in the subject areas that they love and miss, such as the performing arts!

After a long year, 2021 has finally arrived! And, along with it, PAW’s Online Winter After School Term is here! While the school day may be filled with vital, intense core content, PAW (and other reputable after school enrichment providers) is happy to help provide online opportunities in the arts and humanities, which are so crucial to a child having a well-rounded education. “Zoom is the great equalizer because you now have so many choices and that is a wonderful opportunity for children” says Cheryl Appleman, president of Performing Arts Workshops. “For example, some class choices might not be available in your school or your community, but now you have a nation’s-worth of classes to select from. We’re based out of Los Angeles, so we have some of the most finely trained artists and teachers on our faculty. They’re passionate about the subjects they teach, and now they can extend their reach and share their knowledge with students across the country. Do you live in a small town with ...

NEVER FEAR… MORE AFTER SCHOOL ON ZOOM IS HERE! Classes Begin October 19th!

By popular demand…we are happy to announce the list of our next session of Online After-School Classes which run from Mid-October to Mid-December!   Performing Arts Workshops’ summer of 2020 showed us that when children participate in interactive Zoom classes in the Arts it energizes and excites them for online learning, setting them up for success! It may seem counter intuitive, but when children are given the chance to participate in fun and uplifting activities through Zoom, it re-energizes them and opens their minds up to learning the important lessons and topics of school on a similar platform and actually counters Zoom Fatigue. Thanks to the requests of our PAW Families for more classes, we are excited to offer an additional session of online after school workshops this Fall and registration is now open to all ! Knowing that our program has helped children become more receptive and comfortable with their academic school studies on the Zoom platform is very rewarding to us. ...
