Homework done, friendships made, every day.

Whether your child needs an early drop-off before the bell or a place to land after the final one, our Before & After School program bridges the school day — with homework support, enrichment clubs, and coverage on school holidays and in-service days too.

Before & After School classroom

Coverage for the whole school-day gap

School-age kids need more than supervision — they need a place that feels like their own. Our program offers a calm morning start before school, dedicated homework time with teacher support in the afternoon, and clubs, sports, art, and free play that let kids decompress and be kids.

We also provide care on school holidays and in-service (teacher work) days, so a day off from school doesn't mean a scramble for you. Families can enroll in before school, after school, or full before-and-after coverage depending on what fits.
