Before And After School Care

Before And After School Care

The Before and After School Program is for students in Plano, Sandwich, Somonauk and Yorkville school districts and provides an inclusive atmosphere where children are nurtured and encouraged to have fun and cultivate friendships. During our program, staff honor families by allocating time and assistance when needed for students to complete homework successfully. The kids in our program will have the choice to do Arts & Humanities, Character Development, Health & Fitness and much more. We offer a light breakfast in the morning and a snack during in the afternoon. We are a nut-free program.

On days off school, our program offers Activity Days. Registration for Activity Days is separate from the our Before & After Enrichment Program and is $50 per day. Activity days are not included in the Before & After School rate.
