K4 -- 5th Grade
Our School Age programs are located on-site at the public elementary schools in the Shorewood, Whitefish Bay, and Glendale school districts as well as Indian Hill School in River Hills. In addition, we have programs at St. Robert School in Shorewood and Holy Family School and St Monica School in Whitefish Bay. The School Age program provides care for children from kindergarten through 5th grade and is divided into four components:

Before kindergarten
Before school
After kindergarten
After school

School Age care is available from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. During the school year, children can attend between two and five days a week, with the option of all day care provided during school vacations and other days when there is no school. Please note, not all components are offered at all schools.

Before and After Kindergarten Programs

Teachers carefully plan the day to complement the structure of the Kindergarten classroom rather than compete with it. Communication and problem solving skills, independence and responsibility, self-awareness and initiative, and cooperation and conflict resolution are all skills and dispositions fostered in our programs. We offer a child-centered environment with kid-sized furnishings, arranged to accommodate the many needs and moods of this active age group. Soft elements and children's creations further define the personality of the room. The children enjoy theme weeks, dramatic play, puzzles, group games, snack time, outdoor play, sensory experiences, science discoveries, table games, puppet play, story time, neighborhood walks, block construction ..... and the list goes on!!

1st -- 5th Grade Programs
We believe in the importance of:
  Teachers who understand the important role that adults play in children's lives.
A curriculum with a variety of featured activities to look forward to each day in flexible, comfortable and attractively arranged spaces.
Helping children learn to use leisure time productively and giving them the time they need to be kids.
Empowering children so they are active in making decisions that help shape their program.
Helping children foster positive peer relationships and providing them with a sense of belonging.
Helping children to mature appropriately and develop self discipline and a sense of responsibility.
