About Before and After School Care

Before and After School child care programs provide care for students in kindergarten through grade five. The students stay in the same welcoming, familiar environment while participating in fun and interactive educational and recreational opportunities. With minimum transitions for the students, they will continue to excel in all aspects of their development even outside school hours.
