Overview

Mission

Vision: Prime Time's mission is to help children and youth succeed by strengthening and expanding quality in the out-of-school time field.

What it reported doing in 2024

Program Enrichment: For more than 25 years, Prime Time has supported the out-of-school time field locally, at the state and national levels. Prime Time works with out-of-school time (OST) programs that are participants of the Palm Beach County Quality Improvement System (QIS) to maintain or increase their program quality. Using the Palm Beach County Quality Standards for Afterschool as the foundation for the work, Prime Time guides OST program directors, program managers and staff in identifying and implementing opportunities to improve the overall quality of the program. (Continued on Schedule O)In 2024-2025, 143 OST programs participated in the Palm Beach County Quality Improvement System, giving them the opportunity to receive Prime Time's suite of offerings. Of the 143 programs, there were: 5 charter schools31 community-based centers 23 early learning centers15 middle schools4 municipalities65 school district programsThis fiscal year also marks a five-year partnership with the Children's Services Council of Martin County, sharing best practices and lessons learned with 12 community-based organizations. To give Palm Beach County's children and youth access to a wide range of experiences and reduce the opportunity gap for children who have limited access to them, Prime Time partners with local organizations to offer expanded learning opportunities at no cost to eligible afterschool and summer programs. In 2024-2025, Prime Time impacted more than 32,000 children and youth by giving them access to hands-on enrichment activities provided by local content experts such as Digital Vibez and Green Mouse Academy.
