The hours between the end of the school day and the time you finish work can be hard to manage. You want to know your school-age child is safe, happy, and doing something useful instead of just watching television. At First Learning Stages Daycare Center, we understand this common problem. When you can’t pick up your child right away after school, our after-school program is here to help. We provide a wonderful space for older kids to complete homework and play with friends. Our team ensures every child gets a warm welcome when they arrive.
Calm Care
A Safe and Relaxing Afternoon Space
Hosted at our beautiful second location on Temple Hill Road, this program takes away afternoon stress for busy parents. We strive to make every child feel comfortable and ensure they take part in fun, enriching activities. Our secure building features clear security cameras inside and out, ensuring your child stays safe as they transition from their morning school routine into our care. Children can comfortably complete tasks in a calm setting. Our instructors are always nearby to offer praise and guidance.
