The Family Center provides a haven for our families to participate in various parenting workshops, access counseling, and attend skill-building classes. By establishing strong relationships with parents, CentroNia’s goals is provide increased opportunities for family growth and to strengthen the role they play in the lives of their earliest learners.

Studio R.O.C.K.S. (Reading, Outdoors, Creativity, Knowledge, S.T.E.A.M) offers before and after school programming as well as all day programs during winter, spring, and summer breaks. Studio R.O.C.K.S. accepts all children from kindergarten (age 5) to middle school (age 12). Our goal at Studio R.O.C.K.S. is to provide students with meaningful and impactful programming focusing on academic enrichment, self-discovery, and creative exploration–all in a bilingual, multicultural setting.

The Family Literacy Book Clubs are community-based and community-initiated family literacy groups. CentroNía trains parents and community members to be Family Literacy coaches who are well–versed in developmentally appropriate literacy activities. The coaches then convene Family Book Clubs sessions within the community at which time parents and children engage in literacy extensions, receive books to build home libraries, and develop a strong foundation in literacy. Currently, neighborhood book clubs are up and running in Wards 1, 4, 5, 7, and 8. Clubs meet once a week for eight sessions (twice each year) and follow the curriculum and measurement topics from the District of Columbia Early Learning Standards. Goals for each session are tied to these measurement topics. The clubs’ overall goal is to make Family Book Clubs a city-wide program that targets the under-served population.
