After-School Programs Programs

Safe, engaging care for school-age children between the end of the school day and pick-up time, with snacks, activities and space to relax.

About After-School Programs

After-school programs bridge the gap between the end of the school day and the end of your working day. Your child gets a safe, welcoming place to unwind after school, have a snack, catch up with friends, do homework and take part in activities until you're ready to collect them. Many after-school programs run on school grounds, so your child doesn't have to travel. Others are based at local clubs and offer pick-up from nearby schools. The best programs mix free play and downtime with structured activities — sport, arts, games and sometimes light homework support — so children get a proper balance of rest and stimulation before heading home.

  • • A safe, social space where your child can unwind and play with friends
  • • Healthy snacks and, often, light homework support included
  • • Mix of structured activities and free play
