School-Age Program

Older children need a safe, supervised and fun environment to start and end the school day. Our school-age program offers care before and after school, as well as during summer, winter, and spring vacations. Our care is available for children ages 7 through 13 at all of our centers: Donald Street, 374 Rockdale, 321 Rockdale, Church Street, Sassaquin, and our dedicated school-age centers at Dartmouth Street and Welby Road.

Programs for Every Schedule

We offer flexible options to support working families throughout the school year and beyond.

Before & After School Care

6:30 AM - 5:30 PM

Mornings and afternoons can be hectic, but we've got you and your child covered. Our school-age program supports your child whether they're gearing up for the school day or winding down after it. We mix learning, relaxation, and fun activities, and allow children to choose from a variety of projects that align with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks and Standards for Learning.

School Vacations

Full Day Options

When school's out, the fun continues! During summer, winter, and spring vacations, we offer full-day programs filled with exciting field trips, special guests, and fun activities. Summer is extra special with weekly themes and action-packed outdoor adventures. You can choose care options that fit your schedule — whether you need care for the whole week, a few days, or just a few hours.

What Your Child Can Expect

From homework help to hands-on cooking, our school-age program is designed to keep kids learning, creating, and having fun every day.

Transportation

We understand that juggling multiple schedules can be challenging, so we make it easy with our transportation service. We can arrange to have your child picked up from home, brought to before-school care, public school, after-school care, and then brought home — all with one convenient service from Little People's College.

Homework Support

School-age children have a dedicated, quiet space to focus on their homework and school projects. Our homework areas are equipped with iPads, computers, reference materials, and tools to support their learning. Our educators offer one-on-one help with school assignments, allowing parents and kids to enjoy more quality time together at the end of the day.

Creative Play & Games

Blocks, board games, and more! We have a variety of activities to keep children engaged and entertained. Whether they're building with Bristle Blocks, Legos, and K'nex or playing classic and new board games with friends, every activity is chosen to spark creativity, encourage teamwork, and help them develop social skills.

Chef's Corner

At each of our centers, skilled chefs prepare healthy meals and snacks for all children. During half-days or full days off from public school, school-age children get the special treat of diving into cooking projects with our chefs. They get to choose the menu, prepare their own dishes, and taste the delicious results.

Summer Program
