The School Age Program is for children who have completed Kindergarten through age 12. Activities and projects are made each day and may include, but are not limited to, art and science projects (e.g., paper mache, painting, insect collection, nature walks), math and literacy activities (e.g., board games, listening center, writing center), and small and large motor activities (e.g., baseball, obstacle courses). A morning and afternoon snack is offered daily. Children bring their own lunches.
