Children playing together in school age program in Appleton, WI

School Age Program

After a long school day, children benefit from time to relax, play, and reset in a comfortable, home-like environment. The school age program at Amy & Kids Co. offers a place where they can unwind, connect with others, and enjoy their time outside of school.

School Age Program Enrollment

The school age program is available for children who are 5-12 years old and enrolled in school. Children can attend before and after school, over school breaks, and during the summer. If your child is currently enrolled at Amy & Kids Co. no additional steps are needed. Children naturally transition from preschool into school age activities as they grow and develop.

School Age Program Highlights

The school age program at Amy & Kids Co. is designed to meet the unique needs of older children. Your child can choose to participate in activities with the rest of the group, or spend some quiet time relaxing on their own.

My school age program provides:

  • A safe, welcoming environment that promotes creativity, independence, and cooperation.
  • A caring, educated provider who has experience working with school-age children.
  • A balance of group and individual experiences.
  • Plenty of time for active play, socializing, and relaxing.
  • Opportunities to participate in meal and snack preparation.
  • A quiet place to study, with homework assistance available.
  • Clear, consistent limits and expectations, as outlined in the child guidance policies.

School Age Program Forms

If your school age child will travel to or from the center unescorted, an Alternate Arrival/Release Agreement must be completed and on file beforehand. The rest of the enrollment forms are the same for school age children as younger ones.

Stay Connected

Many parents enjoy seeing photos of their children enjoying themselves. Daily Connect helps families stay connected with their child's day through photos, updates, and daily summaries.
