Afterschool Programs
PTM MAIN AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM SITE
PTM has been operating its main afterschool program to children living in the Preston Taylor community of northwest Nashville since 1998. In 2007, the program moved into the newly renovated Hal and Martha Wilson Center at 4014 Indiana Avenue, allowing the afterschool site to move from temporary, borrowed space to a permanent location. The program currently serves 75 children in kindergarten through 8th grade. Led by Children's Director Sarah Norberg, the program is staffed by 3 reading specialists and a number of volunteers who provide mentoring relationships to the children. Children rotate between classes of systematic reading instruction, homework assistance, math and reading tutoring, and enrichment activities. Annually, PTM is seeing more 75% of its students improve by more than a grade level in reading. The program runs from 4pm to 6pm, Monday through Friday.
