School-Age Program During the year, School-Age children arrive to the Center after a full day of school, therefore, our School-Age program offers a wide variety of activities that are relaxed, yet are engaging and meaningful. Activities include creative expression, dramatic play, indoor and outdoor games that are both structured and open-ended to allow for the child’s own interests and curiosity to thrive.
