School-Age Centers
School-Age Centers Our centers for school-age children are fun AND educational! Children are provided a set-aside time for, and assistance with their homework. There are plenty of opportunities to make friends, play games, and get some fresh air. A big benefit of this program is that children are able to develop important trusting relationships with our staff—our annual staff turnover rate is less than 5%!

Our centers are licensed by the State of California. Centers are open Monday through Friday. Please see specific centers for exact hours. Rates are reasonable; click here for our rate sheet. Subsidized help is available to qualifying families.
