Apple Tree's School-Age Program



Our School-Age Program is for children ages 5-12 years old that are attending public/private school and need care either before or after school.

Our program provides your school-age child with many opportunities for creative, recreational and restful activities as appropriate to meet the needs of each child.

Our goal for this age group is to have the children interact with each other, to make friends and to work in small groups together. Our program promotes individual choice, independence, socialization, problem solving, decision making and the over all self-confidence and self-esteem that is needed for every child in the world today.

Our Teachers are dedicated in making sure that the school-age child has fun and that coming to our center is not a duplication of their day at public/private school. Our Teachers also set aside special time to help the children with any homework assignments that they may have.

The children will have many opportunities to participate in many different activities such as:

  • Computer Time
  • Arts & Crafts
  • Music & Movement
  • Outdoor Fun / Indoor Play Area
  • The centers within the classroom (block area, dramatic play, manipulative play, library etc.)
  • Free Time / choosing their own activities (board games, relaxing or reading a good book).
  • Homework Time

Our School-Age program provides your school-age child with the special ingredients that are needed to help your child “Learn & Grow
