The Before & After School Program is a licensed child care program developed in an effort to offer area parents affordable childcare and to give children ages 5 - 12 yrs a safe, fun and supportive environment to grow in.

We offer a mentoring based program in which our staff are chosen for their leadership qualities and ability to set a positive example for children.  Children are then encouraged to mentor each other and provide leadership, guidance and positive lifestyle choices.  This enables us to help children develop respect, self-esteem and to increase social skills.
