Our classes are taught by trained staff and teachers. Currently we are offering wonderful programs including:

We also work with Ms. De Alba, the TA Brown Parent Support Specialist to offer classes for parents and family events.
CATS Club is offered in the Fall, Spring, and Summer! Space is limited and registration does not guarantee you child a spot in the program. We target students who have academic and attendance improvement needs. For further information about ACE CATS Club please feel free to contact:
