Taking Good Care

Our School Age Child Care program offers affordable, dependable, and high-quality child care during the school year to families in Gahanna, New Albany, and Westerville school districts. In 2008, we provided care for 2200 children.

HOW IT WORKS

   

HOW TO REGISTER

   

In addition to providing families a link between home and school, the School Age Child Care program helps children develop in meaningful ways, including:

  • Problem-solving, science, and enrichment activities—developing critical thinking skills
  • Diversity awareness—fostering positive social interactions, respect for others, and emotional well-being
  • Arts, crafts, play, and homework—cultivating curiosity, creativity, large and fine motor skills, and self-discipline

We strive to provide a safe, fun, and relaxed environment where children can learn and grow. Our staff is highly qualified and experienced in supervising and interacting with children, including those with special needs. What’s more, our flexible programming allows children a choice of interesting and age-appropriate activities every day.
