About Our School Age Child Care Program
Our afterschool program serves families needing reliable child care after the school day ends. We provide transportation from local schools and create a safe environment where school age children can complete assignments, participate in creative activities, and enjoy outdoor play with their peers. Our experienced staff focuses on providing fun, educational experiences while maintaining the safety and security families expect.
During school breaks and summer months, we offer full day services that include educational field trips, nutritional meals, and structured activities. Our SACC program combines learning with recreation to keep students engaged and active throughout their time with us.
From 5 Years to 12 Years: Development Support for Every Stage
School age children need different types of support as they grow from kindergarten through middle school years. Our afterschool care adapts to meet the changing needs of students at every age. Younger children receive more guidance with activities and routines, while older youth gain independence through self-directed projects and leadership opportunities.
We provide variety in our daily programs to keep school age children interested and engaged. Students can choose from unlimited creative arts, drama activities, crafts, and interactive centers based on their interests and energy levels after their school day.
School Age Program Enrollment and Registration
Starting your child in our school age child care begins with understanding our enrollment process and family services.

We encourage families to tour our facilities at both our Baxter location and Edgewater location to see our afterschool program in action.

Our son is so excited everyday to go to school. He is learning so much with the creative experiences and activities each day! He brings home exciting stories each day and I like being able to see the updates on the ProCare app. He looks forward to Mondays to get back to school & his teachers!

The teachers are the very best at FOD. They are invested in the school. Majority of the teachers have been there 5 plus years. Communication is very important to them and it shows. The children are active and happy! They are provided with open ended activities. My child loves coming to summer camp!
