About Our After-School Care Program
Our school programs represent the best choice for parents who want their school age child to receive comprehensive care in a safe, supervised environment. After a full day of structure, school age children need time to rest, relax, complete homework, and have fun with friends.
We provide school care that includes dedicated classrooms for school age programs, quiet areas for homework club, and teachers who assist children with their studies. Our huge playgrounds feature safe equipment where youth can enjoy physical activity including sports like soccer and basketball. We also offer nutritious afternoon snacks and transportation to and from local elementary schools.
The program includes planned arts and crafts activities, big screen TV access, classic video games, computers, and a wide variety of extracurricular activities. During school closures and teacher workdays, we provide field trips and other planned special events that keep children engaged and active.
From Kindergarten to 12 Years: Development Support for Every Stage
School age children benefit from programs that balance academic support with recreational fun. Our afterschool environment helps youth develop independence while maintaining the structure they need to succeed. Children have access to homework assistance and enrichment activities that support their growth throughout the school year.
During summer camp programs, we expand our offerings to include extended field trips, swimming activities, and special themed weeks. Our summer programs provide full-day care that keeps children active, engaged, and learning during school breaks.

An Exceptional Preschool That Stands Apart After extensive research and multiple school changes for my first son, I can confidently say that this preschool is truly exceptional. What sets it apart is its transparency—something I found lacking in many other programs. Instead of simply dropping children off at a door and retrieving them hours later with no insight into their day, parents here have the opportunity to witness the environment, the learning process, and the overall atmosphere in which their children are growing. This openness fosters a deep sense of trust and confidence in the education and care being provided. Beyond transparency, the staff is what truly elevates this school. They are not only highly capable and efficient but also exceptionally kind, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in the well-being of every child. Their commitment to both the students and their families is evident in every interaction, and their dedication goes far beyond duty—it is a reflection of their passion for early childhood education. This is a place where children are not only nurtured but also meaningfully engaged in learning. The difference is unmistakable, and I advocate for this school every chance I get—at the park, the grocery store, anywhere I meet parents searching for quality education. If you are looking for a preschool that values transparency, DIVERSITY, EXCELLENCE and HEARTFELT DEDICATION, this is the one! It’s the ONLY one. Amanda Seidman

I am incredibly grateful for this preschool and the wonderful environment they have created. From day one, the warm, nurturing, and compassionate atmosphere immediately put both my little one and me at ease. The staff are absolutely amazing—patient, caring, and truly dedicated to every child's growth. Since joining, my lil guy has flourished in every way. It’s heartwarming to see him light up with joy and anticipation every morning as he heads off to school. His newfound confidence, social skills, and excitement for learning have made this experience a delightful journey for our family. I wholeheartedly appreciate all the educators for their unwavering commitment to creating such a loving and supportive space. I highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a place where their child can truly thrive.

I recently submitted a review and I do have to apologize as it looks like I was off base on the rationale. Big shout out to Ms. Deborah, being great like she always is and providing clarification as to the cameras. Our confidence in Deborah and her team is marrow deep, and I do appreciate their rationale. We have always been the greatest fans of StarChild and the staff! Our kids have loved being here and they have grown a TON. Our youngest is going through the process of potty training and we all know how fun that can be. The teachers are doing a great job helping us to get our youngest through this important phase.

The school staff is always exceptional! We are strongly considering keeping our oldest there for elementary school as well because of the experience we have had so far. Our kids and family are treated nicely and it’s been pleasant year since we have been a part of the StarChild family.
