Welcome!

Our mission is to provide quality care in a safe, stimulating environment that supports the individual needs of children, families and staff, while building positive relationships. We are proud to be accredited by the Minnesota Schoolage Care Association. Through this process we achieved compliance with national standards of quality for programs serving school aged kids. We are always looking for new, fun and creative ways to meet the changing needs of our kids and families so we can provide the best after school program possible.

About Kid's CHOICES and Activities

During CHOICE time, kids are free to go to a number of different activities including organized gym games, computer lab, outdoor activities, free play and teacher lead projects. Kids can choose which activity they want to go to and are free to change spaces throughout CHOICE time. Twice a week we offer a club that runs throughout the month and also offer a project everyday.   From art to science, physical activity and cooking, music and filmmaking, creative writing and computer technology, short term and long term, we try to offer a broad range of activities.

Activities are posted in the Parent Area of our FC Room.

 

HOMEWORK TIME : Before after school snack, kids split by K-2 and 3-6 do homework, read a book, or any other quiet activity. One of our staff is available to supervise and help with their questions. Although we do not require kids to do their homework we will gently encourage kids at their parent's request. Just let us know if you want us to help your child get their work done.
