AFTER SCHOOL CARE
After School Care
The After School Care Program is designed to meet the needs of school-age children while their parents are at work or involved in other activities. This program is structured to provide children with a place to be that is safe and nurturing. The children in this program are encouraged to choose between various activities that provide for recreation, individual creativity, and diversity. Arts, crafts, table games, and “building” are just a few of the options. Of course, the “all-time-favorite” is the time made available for homework. Children may bring a snack of their choosing. As with school lunches, we encourage this to be a healthy snack.

Any color or design is acceptable. VIEW AMAZON for an example nap mat.
