Kindergarten Aftercare

After-school care is provided for children from 2:20 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily, with transportation provided by Niskayuna schools.

Afternoon Enrichment: Kindergarten Edition

For this program, kindergarten children will be in their own classroom until late afternoon. Our program is designed to be an enrichment opportunity and add to the knowledge that children are already learning in school.

Our after-school childcare services offer a combination of structure and themes, with a variety of activities. There will be stories, art activities, games, music and movement, as well as time in the gym or outdoor play on a daily basis.

Synchronized Care: District-Aligned Afternoon Enrichment

Our program is based on the district's. We offer care for half days beginning when school is dismissed. Parents are responsible for providing lunch, and we provide an afternoon snack.
Additionally, parents may pre-register for care on days when Niskayuna is not in session (i.e., holidays, school breaks, etc.). Additional charges apply.

Please see the registration packet for more details.
