Orcas

Comprehensive Care for School-Age Children

The Orcas Program offers a variety of care options designed to meet the diverse needs of families. Our mission is to foster a sense of security and belonging while offering engaging and educational activities tailored to each child's development.

School Age: Before and After School Care

Our program provides a supportive environment outside of regular school hours, catering specifically to the needs of working parents from early morning until the end of the school day and beyond.

Before School Care:

Children are welcomed into a nurturing environment to start their day right. Activities include quiet reading time, educational games, and breakfast options. This care is designed to ensure they are well-fed, relaxed, and ready to learn.

After School Care:

We pick up children from designated meeting areas and bring them to the center. Here, they participate in structured activities, including arts and crafts, recreational games, and homework assistance. Our dedicated educators support continued growth and development.
