WHAT WE OFFER

Our Program

Nationally Accredited Programs for School-Age Childcare

Our School Age Care program is for children in kindergarten through 6th grade (age 12). The program is nationally accredited by the Council on Accreditation. Our staff has an extensive training process that gives them the knowledge and skills to offer the highest quality of programming.

Our program strives to provide a safe, enriching, supervised enviornment for children and youth during out-of-school time. Individual interests, experiences, abilities, and needs guide the programming. Children have the right to be heard, listened to and influence decisions. We promote experiences and opportunities that enhance rather than duplicate the school day. Our program maintains an atmosphere that encourages flexibility and allows for freedom of choice within appropriate guidelines. We strive to reinforce family values and emphasize the uniqueness of each child by promoting positive attitudes and validating self-worth.
