Parents will have peace of mind knowing that their child is well supervised in a caring, safe environment while they work. The aftercare program is conveniently located in elementary schools in local districts. The children in this program will be given time and help with homework, have a light snack, and participate in Healthy U/CATCH, creative and recreational games.
