Circle4Success After-School Enrichment
The Circle4Success program has a theme verse of Luke 10:27 - “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind.” This theme reflects the reality that God is our King and we are His children, learning to love Him and live with Him forever.
Following that concept, each child in Circle4Success is referred to as a King’s Kid. Each King’s Kid is valued and is uniquely created for a special and important purpose in the King’s Kingdom!
The ‘4’ in Circle4Success stands for the four areas that the program addresses as we seek to encourage the Kids in their growing love for the King:
Heart (social and emotional development)
- Stop and Think Behavior Framework - Kids are empowered by choices
- Daily Shout-Outs - Brief words of appreciation said about each other
- Team Building Activities
- Reward Room (Fridays) - All eligible Kids can play video games, foosball, air hockey, board games and eat a special treat
Soul (spiritual growth)
- Each Kid receives their own new Bible
- God Times - Chapel meets separately for K-2 and 3-6 grades
- Curriculum based on the book, Pilgrim’s Progress, an allegory of Christian life, offers activities, reading and journal writing
- Sharing Godspots - ways that God was seen at work that day in the Kids’ lives
Strength (character and skill development)
- Daily Open Gym time
- Enrichment - specialized areas of interest in art, music and movement
- Mural Painting - all Kids participate in helping paint a mural depicting the Pilgrim’s Progress story on both sides of the 90 ft. long C4S hallway
Mind (academic enrichment).
- Daily Math & Literacy Enrichment - both whole-group and individual enrichment with teacher read-alouds, buddy reading and various math games
Our enrichment activities are designed to be fun for the kids, but they are also important supplements to their personal development. Many of the activities address developmental and educational deficiancies that occur within our urban environment.
It is our vision and desire to create a fun and engaging environment that glorifies our King and protects His Kids, giving them a safe, healthy and loving environment in which to learn and grow to their God-given potential. It is our God-given responsibility to lovingly guide our King's Kids in every facet of the Circle4Success program

Enrichment Activities
Circle4Success has more than one reason that we believe enrichment activities are important for our King’s Kids. While having fun activities is a plus for any children’s program, the enrichment activities help to address many of the community and developmental issues our urban children face. This makes the specifics of our enrichment activities even more significant.
With enrichment activities available that cover movement, music, art and communication, our Kids are receiving significant opportunities to broaden their horizons and receive a developmental boost to their learning
