School Age Daycare Program
Ages: 5 – 12 Years
Our School Age program provides a safe, engaging environment for elementary students before and after the school bell rings. Whether they need help with homework, a place to unwind, or a fun-filled summer adventure, we give “big kids” the independence they crave with the supervision they need.
More Than Just Babysitting
For busy working parents, the school day doesn’t always match the workday. We bridge that gap with a structured yet relaxed environment where children can transition between home and school.
What we offer:
Homework Support: Dedicated time and assistance to get assignments done so family time at home is actually family time.
Transportation: Safe transport to and from select local elementary schools (check your location for specific routes).
Healthy Snacks: Fueling growing bodies after a long day of learning.
Relaxation & Play: A chance to decompress with friends, play games, or engage in hobbies.
Unforgettable Summer Adventures
When school is out, the fun begins! Our Summer Camp program turns the long break into a season of discovery. We keep minds active and bodies moving so children return to school ready to learn.
Camp highlights include:
Weekly Themes: exciting new topics every week to keep engagement high.
Field Trips: Safe, supervised outings to local parks, museums, and attractions.
Enrichment Activities: Science experiments, art projects, and team sports.
Social Growth: Building lifelong friendships outside the classroom setting.
We also offer full-day care during School Breaks (Spring Break, Winter Break, and Snow Days) to keep your schedule running smoothly.
A Place to Belong
School-age children are navigating complex social dynamics. Our teachers act as mentors, helping them develop leadership skills, conflict resolution, and self-confidence.
This stage supports:
Leadership: Older children often have opportunities to lead activities or help younger peers.
Responsibility: Managing their own gear, homework, and choices.
Teamwork: collaborative games and projects that require communication.
Safety for Older Children
Even big kids need a safe harbor. We maintain the same rigorous safety standards for our school-age program as we do for our infants.
Strict sign-in/sign-out procedures (especially important for bus arrivals).
Supervised internet access for homework research.
Age-appropriate playgrounds separate from toddlers.
Open Communication With Families
Even as your child grows more independent, you still need to know they are thriving. We shift our communication to focus on the things that matter most for school-aged children.
Families receive:
Homework Updates: Knowing if assignments were completed or if they struggled with a specific subject.
Behavioral Insights: Updates on how your child is interacting with peers and handling conflict.
Camp & Trip Notifications: Clear schedules for summer field trips and special events.
Partnership: A welcoming environment for questions or concerns about school challenges.
You’re never expected to figure out the school years alone—we are here to support your family.
