School
Age Programs
Some activities at the Mt. Hope Learning Center are on going,
such as our one-on-one tutoring and homework help. Other classes
are offered in twelve-week cycles, some of which repeat several
times a year. As new volunteers work with us to create new offerings,
we often try new educational activities such as Slimy Science,
Rock Climbing, Paper Maché, Sculpture, the Creatures of
Narragansett Bay and Improvisational Theatre. We strive to excite
children's curiosity with visual, hands-on, project-based, and
contextual learning activities, which motivate them to love learning.

Second Saturday Cooking Club
Since January 2007, on the second Saturday of each month students in our after school elementary program take part in a cooking club where they prepare a meal to take home for their families to enjoy. Under the direction of chefs Christine Cote and Channavy Chhay, youth partner with adult volunteers from the Central Congregational Church in Providence to complete a dinner together.
See photos from the kitchen!
This monthly cooking group is made possible by Central Congregational Church and the Rhode Island Greyhound Dog Owners' Association.
