The Epoch Dream Center

The Epoch Dream Center Rooted in love, structure, and opportunity, Epoch empowers kids to dream bigger. At the end of each day, we share a family-style dinner together.

The Epoch Dream Center is a free after school program that provides under-resourced children with support through academic tutoring, mentoring, and essential care. Our staff, mentors, and volunteers provide a fun, loving, and structured environment so children can excel toward their potential. Our volunteers and mentors assist with homework, reading skills, team building, and offer a variety of ex

tra-curricular activities. Through their attendance at Epoch, children learn the value of hard work and the importance of making wise decisions.

That's a wrap for Summer Epoch 2026!

In a study conducted by Dartmouth Health, it was discovered that students can lose 20% of reading comprehension and 27% of math capabilities during summer vacation. This unfortunate phenomena is often called the "summer slide." Summer programs that keep students engaged and practicing academic skills are paramount for student performance. Alongside fun adventures and engaging activities, our students have spent the last three months reading, writing, and doing math in group and solo settings to prevent the summer slide. They are ready to start off the 2026-27 school year strong!

A big thank you to Robbie Chin for coming out last week to teach our students the Japanese traditional art of Gyotaku! Our kids got to practice making prints of different shells. Robbie shared his beautiful ideology of capturing the importance of a moment through art that can be forever remembered and cherished! The kids loved learning about this art style and getting to put it into practice! Thank you, Robbie!!

We love the outdoors!! ☀️

Research by Harvard University shows that being outside increases positive emotions, improves sleeping habits, decreases anxiety, releases dopamine and serotonin, and encourages mental restoration. Our students enjoy the outdoors all summer long at Epoch. Whether it is playing a game of capture the flag, exploring the Salisbury Zoo, or just sitting in the sunshine, our kids enjoy all the benefits that come with being outside.

Thank you Buffalo Wild Wings for donating a meal! The kids were thrilled to have such a special lunch.

Research shows that children who eat family-style meals around a table develop better socially, emotionally, psychologically, and nutritionally. Our students eat together everyday and learn to have good conversations, bond with their classmates and teacher, practice manners, and enjoy a home-prepared meal.
