Call Directions

Helping families and schools create lifelong learners through play and exploration. Transportation is included to/from most area schools.

Learning Zone is an out-of-school-time program dedicated to the idea that childhood is a time of wonder and that the world is our classroom. Learning Zone provides tutoring, homework help and enrichment activities before and after school for students in grades K-5. During the pandemic, we also provide a virtual learning day camp as needed by the closure of our area school systems, giving children a safe place to do their school work and spend part of their day when they are out of the traditional classroom. Learning Zone is not day care but a program designed to give children a fun space after school to be themselves, explore fun ways to learn, make friends, improve school performance, develop study skills in math and language arts, and receive help in subjects and areas that needs improvement in their classrooms. We do this in both group and individual settings with one-on-one tutoring and tailored games and activities. Learning Zone staff believes that out-of-school time programs like ours enhance children's ability to learn and develop beyond the traditional school day. The critical hours between the school day end and dinner time have been shown in study after study for decades to be some of the most important time of the day for social and emotional growth. Children who participate in out-of-school-time programs with a focus on the social/emotional, physical, mental, and cognitive growth of students are more likely to succeed in school, resist risky behaviors, have better school attendance and lower drop-out rates, see improvement in their school performance and grades, and be better prepared for their futures. Learning Zone operates before and after school during the school year and will provide a summer day camp. We do offer snow day camp days and holiday week day camps, but we are closed on major holidays. We are an equal opportunity provider CACFP At-risk Center that provides both snacks and meals when appropriate.

Reading-- for enjoyment, for media literacy, for skill-building and community-building-- has become one of the backbones of what our program provides our students. We could always use more books. Donated books are added to our classroom libraries and provided to all children who come through our doors to take home for free. You can find a display by our front door and the purple Tuscarawas County Public Library System cart by the cafeteria full of books for all ages. Come find a book. Stop by and donate a book. Getting them into the hands of all children is important to us.

I wanted to challenge myself to make a reel highlighting all the great times we had this summer with as little identifiers of our campers as possible. Let me know if you think I did a good job telling the story of our Summer Day camp adventures for 2026!

I challenged myself to create a video that showed off the fun of Summer Day camp 2026 with as little as identifiers to our campers as possible.

Another great year of memories with some awesome kids!

We still have a few spots available for our before and after school program here at The The Dover/New Philadelphia Salvation Army. Before school is more limited in availability, but we have more openness in the afternoons.

Breakfast, afternoon snack and transportation to/from school to our building is included. We open at 6am and close at 5:30pm. We have a great time and look forward to supporting your family and school to help your children grow!

Contact Barb for more information! We start right along with the school this week, but enrollment is ongoing as long as there are open spots!

Today is the FINAL DAY of our Kids Eat Free Summer meals program!

We will be serving pizza, cucumbers and a peaches cup instead of fruit salad because I have no leftover fresh fruit from the week. Ice cream just might be thrown in as well.

Thank you to all the families who came out to join us this summer, and thank you to our sponsors and the organizations who supported our work and came out to share about what they do to help our community families as well.

If you continue to need help with food, we will continue to serve our soup kitchen lunches at noon year round for all ages. We also will continue stocking our Little Pantries at our location and the Tuscarawas County Public Library System. You can sign up for a food box and continue to watch our main page for updates on other food giveaway options. We are always here to help and find you the resources you need.

Today we will be serving watermelon for lunch in place of pineapple on the menu. Using up what is left as the summer draws to an end!

LAST WEEK OF OUR KIDS EAT FREE PROGRAM

Our day camp is over for the summer, but even as we transition to our before and after school program, we have one more week of Kids Eat Free! As always, stop by for breakfast at 8:30 or lunch at 11:30-12:30. All children 18 and under are welcome. No signups, no income requirements, no registrations. Simply stop by and eat.

We are so close to making our goal meal count for the summer. Please let us help relieve your budget during this time of back to school shopping and expectations.

Thank you to all the wonderful organizations that came by and volunteered or set up information tables and passed out goodies to our kids. And a special shout out to all the kids-- our campers and walk-in friends alike-- thanks for the laughter and hugs and have a great school year!
