Some of the activities include homework time, computers, reading, cooking, science, math, art and crafts, outdoor play, and games to name a few. The goal of our program is to offer a wide variety of fun, quality activities for your child.

    The clock used for time is the clock found at the pick-up location only.
    All outstanding late pick-up fees must be paid before the next payment period begins.
    Any late pick-up fee not paid by the end of the pay period may become a “student obligation” and be applied to the student’s permanent record.
    Three late pick-ups may result in children being withdrawn from the program.

        No refunds are issued for voluntary absences or removal from the program as a result of disciplinary actions. 

        Scholarships: Scholarship applications will open after the start of the school year. (Note: scholarships do not carry over from one school year to the next, so all parents needing a scholarship must apply when the scholarship window opens).

        All scholarship payments are taken over the phone. Please call (754) 322-7768 to make your payments.
