Before and Aftercare Program

Safe, Structured Wraparound Care

Our Before and After-School program provides a seamless bookend to the school day, offering a safe, productive environment where students can prepare for the morning ahead or unwind and recharge after dismissal.

Curriculum

hile we do not replicate the rigor of the school day, our program is an intentional mix of academic support and enrichment clubs. We utilize a rotation system that prevents boredom: after a dedicated homework block, students rotate through various stations such as robotics, culinary arts, or drama.

To ensure a healthy rhythm of productivity and fun:

  • šŸŒ… Morning Kick-Off: A soft-entry start to the day with quiet reading, tabletop games, or light stretching to wake up the brain before the school bell.
  • šŸ“ Academic Power Hour: A dedicated, distraction-free block of time with teacher support to tackle reading logs and math sheets.
  • šŸƒ Active Play: Structured outdoor games and sports to promote physical health and release built-up energy.
  • 🧩 Enrichment Clubs: Weekly rotating activities—like coding, knitting, or chess—that challenge the brain in creative, low-stress ways.

How We Individualize Care

We deeply understand that children's energy levels fluctuate throughout the day. Our staff is trained to perform ā€œmood checksā€ upon arrival; some students need to run laps outside to burn off energy, while others need a quiet corner and a snack to decompress emotionally.

To ensure every child feels at home, we customize the experience to fit their energy levels:

  • šŸŽ Nutritional Support: We monitor snack and breakfast times to ensure students have the fuel they need to avoid a "crash".
  • šŸ“– Custom Homework Plans: We communicate with parents to know exactly how much help they want us to give—whether it’s ā€œchecking for accuracyā€ or just ā€œensuring it’s done".
  • šŸ° Zoning Options: We divide our space into ā€œQuiet Zonesā€ for readers and ā€œActivity Zonesā€ for movers, so one child’s play doesn’t disrupt another’s peace.

Learning Goals & Milestones

Our primary objective is to support the academic habits established during the school day while providing a necessary mental break. We aim for students to leave our program with their homework completed and understood, allowing families to spend their evenings bonding rather than struggling over assignments.

In addition to academic benchmarks, our goals focus on social relaxation and character building:

  • šŸŽ’ Responsibility: Students learn to be accountable for their belongings, tracking their own assignments and winter gear.
  • āš–ļø Work-Life Balance: We teach the importance of ā€œwork first, play second,ā€ helping children understand the reward of leisure time after focus.
  • šŸ¤ Unstructured Socialization: We provide a space for free play where students can navigate friendships and social rules without strict constraints.
