TPC After School Care. PQA Assessment Strengths include: a safe welcoming environment where every child feels supported, we have strong, positive relationships between staff and students and engaging hands-on activities full of creativity, collaboration and fun!

Seneca R-7 is proud to offer high-quality before and after school programming through our TPC Kids After School Program, where students have opportunities to learn, lead, and grow beyond the school day.


This week, members of our TPC team met with our state coach as part of our annual continuous improvement process. Each year, our team reflects on program strengths, reviews data, and sets goals to ensure we are providing the best possible experience for our students and families.


Our most recent Program Quality Assessment (PQA) highlights many strengths within the program. Observations show that TPC provides a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where students feel welcomed and valued. Strong relationships between staff and students, along with hands-on, engaging activities, create meaningful learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom.


These results reflect the core components of high-quality afterschool programs, which are designed to support students’ academic, social, emotional, and physical development through enriching experiences and strong adult relationships .


As part of our ongoing growth, the TPC team has identified a key focus for the upcoming year: enhancing student reflection and voice. This work will provide students with more opportunities to think about their learning, share feedback, and actively shape their experience within the program.


In addition, the program will continue to expand student leadership opportunities, empowering students to lead activities, support peers, and take on meaningful responsibilities. These experiences help build confidence, responsibility, and collaboration skills that benefit students both in and out of the classroom.


The TPC Kids After School Program directly supports Seneca R-7’s CSIP commitments, including:

  • Providing a safe and supportive learning environment

  • Creating innovative, student-centered learning experiences

  • Fostering collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking

  • Strengthening school and community connections


Perhaps most importantly, thanks to the School-Age Community (SAC) grant, Seneca R-7 is able to provide FREE before and after school care for students. This funding allows the district to expand access for families while continuing to elevate the quality of programming offered.


TPC Kids is more than after school care—it is a place where students belong, explore, lead, and grow.
