Before/After/Summer Program
Our before care, after care and summer programs are for children in kindergarten through 4th grade. Our before care is from 6:30 am until drop off at the elementary schools. We pick up afterschool from local elementary schools and provide care until 6:00 pm. We set up a safe home-like environment for children who are coming to us after a full school day. We offer children choices including working on homework, playing board games, building, reading or playing outside.
Our summer program focuses on experiential learning through many field trips and projects. In the past children have created and run their own carnival for the preschool children; put on a luau; made a miniature labyrinth and then visited a labyrinth; and visited/learned about the historical Forts in our area. Children are also offered a variety of materials for exploration and expression including drawing, painting, clay, blocks, LEGO, recycled and natural materials. We offer our children many outdoor experiences, including daily opportunities to swim, visits to Dennis Scivally Park to go crawdad hunting, picnics in the park, trips to Lorimer Cemetary to make gravestone rubbings and a water battle at historic Fort D.
