Before and After School Programs

Children spend their mornings and afternoons in safe, supervised spaces where they can begin and end their day in a fun, supportive setting. Caring staff support every child and provide daily recreation and enrichment through games, arts and crafts, simple projects, and active play. These activities help children build friendships, explore new interests, and develop a sense of belonging and connection throughout their day.

Kindergarten Rec (select locations)

Kindergarten Rec provides extra support for our youngest participants at Air Park, Calvert, and Everett, with kindergarten-friendly routines that help children feel comfortable and confident. Belmont and McPhee offer kindergarten support within the program. Children take part in the same engaging activities such as games, arts and crafts, simple projects, and active play in a caring, supervised environment that encourages creativity and connection.


Belmont students sit down for a project demonstration by After School staff.
