School Age, Before and After Care
Our Before and After School Care program is designed to provide a supportive and engaging environment for school-age children outside of regular school hours. This program caters to the needs of working parents by offering a safe and stimulating space for children from early morning until the end of the school day and after school until our center closes.
Before School Care: Children are welcomed into a nurturing environment where they can start their day with various activities, including quiet reading time, educational games, and breakfast options. This early care is designed to prepare them for a successful day at school, ensuring they are well-fed, relaxed, and ready to learn.
After School Care: Following the school day, children are picked up from their designated meeting areas and brought back to the childcare center. Here, they participate in a range of fun and structured activities, including arts and crafts, recreational games, and homework assistance. Our dedicated educators are committed to providing a positive and enriching after-school experience that supports continued growth and development.
Both parts of the program are tailored to meet the developmental needs of each child, fostering a
sense of security and belonging while offering a variety of engaging and educational activities.
