NHA Learning Centers

The Norwalk Housing Authority Learning Centers (NHALC) are committed to providing NHA students with academic support, enrichment programs, school and career guidance, character building opportunities and educational field trips. NHALC's provide safe, comfortable environments, as well as qualified, dedicated staff that help empower children to reach their highest potential. The long-term goal of the overall NHALC Program is to support, guide and assist NHA students to launch successfully into adulthood.

The NHA Learning Centers are committed to:

▪ Providing a safe haven and supervision during after-school hours.

▪ Supporting parents, primarily to provide working parents childcare during the after-school hours.

▪ Supporting development, including the social and emotional development of the child (providing role models, developing positive self-esteem, promoting strategies for conflict resolution, and promoting respect for diversity).

▪ Providing enrichment and recreational opportunities; activities that youth would not be exposed to otherwise or activities that are not offered during the school day.

▪ Providing academic support, including homework assistance, and other activities with the primary aim of improving school outcomes.

The Learning Centers accommodate children with special needs by varying approaches with parent permission. All transportation that is needed for students to participate in NHA enrichment programs or community-based programs is provided by six passenger vans, owned and operated by NHA.

Academic support that the NHALC provides includes homework help, tutoring in reading and math, computer access for research and school projects, and other academic activities. The enrichment support includes Literacy, STEM, Creative Arts, fieldtrips and exposure both within and outside of the learning centers.
