Before & After Care

We allow for homework time when the children return to the center in the afternoons. Some families prefer children to get their energy out and save their homework for home. Other families have busy schedules and extracurricular activities and find it helpful for children to get a head start on their homework.

  • We are committed to affirming and encouraging kids as they progress through the school year.
  • Experienced caregivers provide consistent mentorship and a balanced schedule for school age children.
  • Fun and interactive activities every day to keep schoolers engaged and excited!
  • We partner with families to help with homework routines and individualize educational support.
  • Low student to teacher ratios.
  • Focus on teamwork and team building fosters lasting friendships.
  • Year-round program that includes special event days during holidays and when school is not in session.
  • Safety is our first priority. From our bus procedures to daily classroom rules, your children are in excellent hands.
  • Transportation is provided by the local First Student Company provided by CCSS.

✨🚂 All Aboard the Polar Express! 🚂✨

Today was pure magic! Our kiddos spent the day cozy in their pajamas, sipping hot chocolate piled high with marshmallows, enjoying puffs, and diving into all kinds of Polar Express–themed activities ❄️☕️🎄

From the movie to the make-believe, their imaginations were full steam ahead — and we loved every minute of it! ❤️

Believe in the magic of Christmas! 🎅🏼✨

🎨 Why We Let Our Young Toddlers Explore Paint 🎨

If you’ve ever seen a toddler covered in paint from head to toe, you know it’s more than a messy moment — it’s learning in action! ❤️

When our young toddlers paint, they’re not just making art. They’re:

✨ Building sensory awareness
✨ Strengthening fine-motor skills
✨ Exploring creativity and self-expression
✨ Learning cause & effect
✨ Practicing calm focus and emotional regulation
✨ Engaging with friends and sharing space

Paint play is one of the best ways for little ones to learn about their world — with their whole bodies, whole brains, and whole hearts. 💛

We love giving them opportunities to explore, discover, and create! 🎨🖐️
