At the fourth and final meeting of 2017, the members of 100 Women Who Care Beaufort selected Penn Center’s PACE Program as the recipient of their last donation of the year.  The Mission of the PACE Program is to offer an extended education and tutoring program that strengthens children’s academic and cultural awareness.

PACE is more than a childcare facility; it is an after-school education center, dedicated to providing a learning environment that enhances the academic, cultural, physical, social-emotional, cognitive, linguistic and creative development of children.  The goal of the program is to build a strong foundation for each child to build upon, leading to a lifetime of educational and personal growth and success.

PACE offers programs in the following areas:

  • Tutors/Homework Buddies
  • Academic Enrichment
  • Recreation and Physical Fitness
  • LifeSkills
  • Reader’s Theater
  • Book Club
  • Creative Writing and Journalism
  • Math and Science
  • Technology
