A Comfortable Place to Spend the Day

Before and after school can be a busy part of a family’s day. Our goal is to provide children with a safe, welcoming environment where they can play, relax, and spend time with friends.

We want children to feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while they are with us.

Here for Children & Families

Every family has different needs. We are here to support children with a caring environment before and after their regular school day.

English and Spanish support are available because every family deserves to feel welcomed, heard, and understood.

Early care activities 7:00 am - 8:45 am

Early care is critical for working parents. Therefore, we help with breakfast and personal care to prepare students for the day. Our students enjoy early care with free play and fun as they learn to share and interact with others.

Afternoon schedules are relaxed as we get ready to leave. At 4:00 pm, your child’s teacher would be leaving for the day. Classroom aid would now help with snacks, schedule activities, and dismissal.

  • Outdoor play
  • Art
  • Social development as they interact with other
  • Snack
  • Reading
  • Educational videos and movies after 5:45 pm.
