Target Excellence is dedicated to administering quality education programs (not just babysitting) that help kids to identify their vision. It starts with an expectation that may be higher than what students expect for themselves. The next important step is to make sure we have a type of daily, weekly, quarterly, and yearly plan in place that anyone and everyone can understand. Children learn quicker when there is a set plan or routine in place. The last thing we do is measure to make sure we are effective and make adjustments in areas where we can improve

​Executive Summary 

 For more than twenty years, our programs have kept children safe during the hours when they are most at risk – and much more!  Students are improving their academic performance, strengthening their interpersonal skills and experiencing opportunities that may otherwise be prohibitively expensive for their families.  Our programs help combat summer learning loss, childhood obesity and allow students to express themselves in ways that make a difference in their communities. ​
