Premier Academy is now offering SNAP programming. Through the program children will improve direction following and learn to take turns through a rotation while also developing close relationships with each other and their coaches. Children who are able to develop early relationships with peers have higher self-esteem, better mental health and greater levels of independence and more successful employment records as adults.
