Nick Smith Jr. grew up in this community, and now we’re honored to recognize everything he’s accomplished and his commitment to the club by naming our gymnasium in his honor. His journey is proof to every young person who walks through our doors that big dreams can start right here in tha “Ville”.

We’d love for you to join us as we celebrate this special milestone and the legacy Nick continues to build. See you this evening!!!

Hey Jacksonville families! After-school registration is officially open, and we are so excited for this upcoming school year! 🎉

We know how stressful and expensive it can be to find quality after-school care. Across Arkansas, families easily pay $65 to over $80 a week. But because we've been blessed with some incredible community support and grants—like our agricultural gardening grant—we are able to offer our entire program for just $25 a week.

We want to make sure every child in our community has a safe, fun, and enriching place to go after the school bell rings. Here is a quick look at what your child gets to do with us:

Hands-on fun: We’re bringing back our big garden program (the kids absolutely love getting their hands dirty!), building cool projects with our STEM kits, and letting their creativity shine with arts & crafts.

Specialized 3rd-Grade Test Prep: If you have a third grader, you already know about the state assessment they have to pass to promote to the fourth grade. It can be stressful, but we’ve got your back. We are offering targeted, specialized tutoring to help them build the skills and confidence they need to ace it.

Literacy & Homework Help: We make sure reading skills stay sharp and homework gets done before they even get home.

Hours: Monday – Friday, 2:30 PM to 6:00 PM

Transportation:

The school district provides transportation directly to us for students attending Murrell Taylor Elementary, Jacksonville Elementary, and Jacksonville Middle School.

If your child goes to Bobby G. Lester Elementary, we do have transportation, but because we are strictly limited to only 15 seats, there is an additional cost.

At $25 a week, our spots fill up incredibly fast every single year.

Drop by the club to grab an enrollment packet, or click the link below to secure your child's spot today!

If you are returning to the Club but it is your FIRST time in this Parent Portal, use the same parent/guardian first and last name and email address that your Club has on file, your account will be linked.
