Before & After School Care

Fun, friendships, homework help — it all happens here.

Our after school program is designed to nurture Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts® in children ages 5 through 12. Your child can relax, make friends, get homework help and continue to learn while having fun as they explore creative expression, sports, technology, drama, music, games and more.

Active Minds

Your child chooses their own path, expanding their knowledge as they explore the various activity zones like writing, engineering, technology and more. Our Balanced Learning® approach gives teachers the resources to support each child and their interests. After a long day at school, your child will be delighted to explore messy science experiments, coding projects, robotics and activity zones that stimulate their creativity and problem-solving skills.

    Encouraging healthy habits in children early on is essential to their future health and success. That’s why health and wellness are woven into the Explorer program through physical activities, cooking and more.

      As children’s self-help skills continue to develop, they engage in family-style dining by pouring their own drinks, serving themselves, setting tables, and cleaning up after meals.
