School Age

The Mission of the School Age Program is to provide a stimulating setting where children can explore, develop, and learn in a safe and secure environment at their own pace. The School-Age Program has been accredited by the National School-Age Care Alliance. This National recognition shows our commitment to quality and continuous program improvement. The philosophy of the School-Age Program is based on the belief that all children are strong, powerful and competent individuals who are constantly learning and growing. The mission of the program is to provide a stimulating environment where children can explore, develop and learn at their own pace. Additionally, it is to provide a child-centered program in a warm, secure environment with love and good physical care. Each child has unique abilities that will be recognized and nurtured.

 The School-Age Program offers a wide range of physical as well as quiet activities. An indoor gym and an outside area are available as daily choices for physical activities. A library room offers an appealing area to finish schoolwork. A Discovery Room provides a place to explore new interest areas. Our creative art room allows children to be creative and express themselves through art. An Almost Grown Zone offer programs for ages 9-12 and have a chartered B&G Torch Club with 15 active members. The staff completes activity plans weekly with input from the children. The School-Age Program offers childcare before school beginning at 6:30 AM to 7:20 AM, at which time they are taken to school. After school care begins at 2:30 p.m. and closes at 6:00 p.m., transportation is provided for a small fee or children 9 and older are welcome to walk. On teacher workdays the center provides all-day care from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. During spring, winter and summer break the center offers all day care filled with a variety of activities and field trips.
