Before & After School

Safe, fun, and enriching extended care built around your child's school day.

Extended Care

Quality Care Before & After School

Our Before and After School Programs are designed to provide a safe, fun, healthy and enriching extended-care environment. The children enjoy a high-quality literacy-based program with a wide variety of developmentally appropriate learning and recreational activities. Reading, arts and crafts, cooking, dramatic play, science and math projects are designed to enhance the literacy themes for the month.

The children participate in well-supervised outdoor play activities and organized sports to release energy built up during the school day. We believe that physical activity is an important part of a child's day. A very important component of our program is Homework Support, in which we dedicate time and a quiet environment to help students with their schoolwork every day. Children may also choose to just rest or read a book in our quiet corner. Our program is child-tested and highly approved.

Junior Academy Children's Centers are flexible in our attendance policies and rates to best meet the needs of our children and parents. We also adapt our programs to the various School Districts in the community. We provide care on Snow Days, Early Dismissals and Late Starts, as well as Holiday and Summer Day Camp.
