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.
