Overview of the Healthy Start Program

The East Bay Agency for Children's comprehensive afterschool program for TK-5th grade provides academic support along with enrichment activities, such as arts & crafts, cooking, gardening, and music to enhance students' social and emotional competency. 

The vision of Sequoia Healthy Start Program is that every student's spark is kindled, nurtured, and encouraged to radiate. The funding from family program fees supports the program's major goal of supporting student success through academic and enrichment activities. We encourage our students to use their voices, build their character, and connect with their communities. The academic component exposes students to a variety of classes and opportunities in order to support their individual interests.
