After-School Care That Fits Working Families

School ends at 4 PM. Your workday doesn't. Our after-school program bridges that gap with professional pickup from local elementary schools and programming designed around what children actually need after hours of sitting at desks.

Ages 5-10 years
Monday-Friday, 3:00-6:00 PM
Pickup available from Horizons on Hudson and Gidney Memorial Elementary

$25

Perfect for trying us out or occasional coverage when plans change. Drop in any weekday afternoon from 3-6 PM for pickup, movement time, and community connection. No commitment required—just come when it works for your schedule.

$100 for 5

Save $25 with this flexible pack! Use your 5 sessions any time within 30 days—perfect for families who want regular after-school support but need flexibility. Mix and match your afternoons based on your work schedule and your child's energy. Works out to just $20 per session.

$375/mo

The best value for working families! Come every single weekday afternoon if you want—that's up to 20+ sessions per month. At less than $19 per session (if you come just four times a week), this pass pays for itself quickly while solving your 3-6 PM challenge.

How Morning Time Works

Pickup

We collect children from participating schools at dismissal time and walk them to our space on South Street. The 10-15 minute walk provides natural transition time between school structure and choice-driven activities.

Movement First

Children arrive and choose physical activities to release built-up energy. No more sitting still—they need to run, climb, and play with friends before focusing on anything else.

Community Connection

Small groups mean real friendships develop. Children learn conflict resolution, practice communication skills, and build confidence through peer interaction across age groups.

Choice-Driven Afternoon

Kids decide what they need: homework support, creative projects, building challenges, or social time. We follow their lead rather than imposing more structure after a structured school day.

Empty interior room with large front windows and wooden floors, some of which are being restored or replaced.

FAQ

  • Absolutely. We have a quiet space and educators ready to help. But we don't force it—some kids need to play first, then tackle homework. We follow their rhythm.

  • Just yourselves and maybe a water bottle. We have all the toys, books, and play materials. Dress for mess—toddlers learn through exploration!

  • Kids can bring their own snacks or purchase from our healthy options (coming soon). We know hungry kids can't focus or play well.

  • Our mixed-age approach lets older kids mentor younger ones while everyone finds their crew. Activities adapt to developmental stages naturally.
