The Before School Program is a school-age child care youth development program for working parents/guardians that provides opportunities and experiences that stimulate a child’s intellectual, social, physical and emotional development. Children are able to develop friendships with their peers and positive relationships with caring adults in a warm, supportive and friendly environment. The Before School Program is a place where children can follow their own interests and choose among a variety of stimulating activities, under the guidance of adult staff, within a secure and familiar environment.
