School Age children/ Summer Program (Kindergartens – 12 Yrs)

Both our after school program and our summer program are designed to provide children time to play outdoors, interact with friends, explore creative arts, play games, work puzzles, and construct with various manipulatives and blocks. Each child receives individual attention in the relaxed but active environment, with attention given to social needs as well as developmental needs. We believe that children need to complete assigned school projects with teacher assistance, eat, rest, play, and pursue other activities of interest. We strive to provide a safe and fun environment for School Age children.
