School Age Child Care

BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL CARE

When the school day ends, our staff are on-site at two locations before school and at the Y after school to help children with homework, keep them active, and encourage their creativity with arts and crafts. Healthy snacks are provided each afternoon.  Our programs provide a safe, fun, friendly way for kids to unwind after school. Before school care is also an option for families needing to get off to work early.

One change for this school year is that after school care is moving to the Y.  When we look at our programming goals and limitations, we decided that this change allows us to best bring the program in alignment with them.  All students will be bussed to the Y, have an afternoon snack, and then we will have themed programming 4:30-5:30pm.  For example, Mondays will focus on movement, Tuesdays on STEM, Wednesdays on art, etc.  The spaces we utilize will allow us to go bigger with experiments, art projects, gym usage, and more.  We also intend to divide students into like age groups, so we can better tailor the programming to interests and skill level.  We are even targeting adding in some swimming and gymnastics as the school year progresses!
