Before Care:
Children have the opportunity to start their day in a relaxed environment and have a smooth transition into the school day in our Before Care program. We offer a variety of choices for children each day including arts and crafts, games and toys, iPads (Fridays), and gym games.
After Care:
After school each day, children have the opportunity to extend their day in After Care with friends and experience a variety of fun and enriching activities. Once the bell rings, attendance is taken to ensure that every child is accounted for. After a healthy snack (provided by BASE), we offer a variety of choices every day including gym games, playground time, arts and crafts, iPads (Fridays) and board games. In addition, we offer Homework Club daily.
Full Day Program:
A VERY popular option. Museum of Nature and Science, Sky Zone, Skate City, Boondocks, Active Athletics… just a few of the exciting field trips we take on our full day programs! We offer full day childcare on most days that Buffalo Ridge is closed including Summer Break, Fall, Spring, and Winter Break. In general, we go on three field trips a week and finish out the field trip days with crafts, games, playground and gym time. The full days at school are theme based and filled with fun, educational and creative activities. Safety, supervision and fun activities for all ages are a high priority for our caring and committed staff.
