Fun, exciting, educational mornings and afternoons await your child here. The After School program for school-age students is customizable and focuses on goal-setting and reflection, complemented by homework support, team-building opportunities and physical activity. With a fun mix of independent and organized activities, education and recreation opportunities our program offers an engaging experience for all students, while adding order and routine to their mornings and afternoons.

0-2-Year Old Preschool Class
Children participate in art projects showcasing the seasons, numbers, holidays. They begin to recognize the colors, alphabets and numbers. They are quizzed daily on their phonics and enjoy morning circle time. The focus during this time is on language acquisition and potty-training primarily.
3-Year Old Preschool Class
Children at this stage learn how to write their own name, can read basic three letter words, count until 100 and know the seasons and can identify countries on a globe/map. Many of our children that have spent more than a year at the school are able to read/write at a second grade level.
Transitional Kindergarten Class/Summer School Camp/Tutoring
Children at this stage are getting ready for interviews and elementary school enrollment. They are prepared to pass even the most rigorous of kindergarten entrance exams and many are well advanced in their psychosocial development. Our alumna network has been extremely successful and gained entrance into the top elementary programs in the area. Also, area specific tutoring programs are available in reading and math while children are in elementary or middle school.
