After-School Programs

The hours between the final bell and when parents are able to pick up their children are a critical period of time. Engaging, challenging after-school programs can help solidify what students have learned during the day, and adult supervision ensures they’ll be safe until they go home each day. Campus KidCare is available on our campuses.
