Our Out of School Care programs are built on the belief that every child deserves to feel safe—physically, emotionally, and socially. We strive to create an environment where children are always accepted, respected, and cared for, regardless of their age, culture, or background.
The program offers a mix of group and individual activities that are designed to keep children engaged and entertained. With both structured and unstructured activities, we focus on fostering children’s development of self-esteem, self-discipline, and cooperation. A variety of interest centers are available, giving children the freedom to explore their passions. Additionally, outdoor recreational opportunities ensure that children stay active, healthy, and connected with nature.
Our fully licensed Out of School Care program offers care for children in Grades 1 through 6 that attend St. Sebastian School in Lake Chaparral. Additionally, we provide fully licensed KinderCare and Out of School Care at St. Gianna School in Auburn Bay, as well as at Our Lady of the Evergreens School in Evergreen. These programs are available for children in Grades K through 6 attending these schools, ensuring that every child has access to a safe, fun, and supportive environment.
