The TuTTie’s Place Building Blocks Activities Program is a variety of integrated activities and components designed to increase academic success, self-esteem, self-confidence, and physical fitness; and to provide the participants the opportunities to learn healthy decision making skills that steer them away from risky behaviors. 

The program includes age-appropriate and grade-level academic enrichment, recreational, and cultural activities designed to engage and challenge the children who in our care.  We have operated the program year-round since 2003 with activities and schedules accommodating school schedules, weekends, and summer months.  

The activities are designed to help the children learn to follow directions and accept authority, learn new skills, function in a group setting, practice self-discipline, and increase their ability to accept authority and to maintain peer-to-peer and adult-child relationships.

The program is managed and staffed by committed personnel trained to work with at-risk youth in a setting that is flexible enough to identify the needs of and work with the individual child.
