An Independent school for independent minds

Flexible Before and After School Programs

After School Care That Supports Growing Minds

Our before and after school care programs are more than just supervision. They’re a supportive space for learning, friendship, and fun. Mornings begin with quiet games, healthy breakfast, and a calm start before students head to school. Afternoons are full of energy, activities, and support.

From outdoor play and group fun to homework help and creativity, our after school programs strike the perfect balance. With both guided and free-choice activities, every child finds something to enjoy and look forward to.

We now offer before school care and after school programs for students attending:

  • Cimarron Elementary
  • Rylander Elementary
  • West Memorial Elementary
  • Memorial Parkway Elementary
  • Fielder Elementary
  • Winborn Elementary

Our after school programs Katy and before school care near me run from mid-August through late May, following the Katy ISD calendar. We also provide full-day care during school breaks and weather closures (extra fees may apply).

Exploration & Leadership Through Camp Days

School’s out—but learning and fun continue! On non-school days, our full-day after school care programs offer exciting, hands-on “camp-style” experiences. Kids get to explore topics like STEM, arts, and leadership while making memories that last.

  • Full-day care when school’s closed
  • Hands-on activities that inspire creativity
  • Projects that encourage teamwork and problem-solving
  • A safe place for exploration and growth

Homework Help That Counts

Homework doesn’t have to wait for home. In our after school programs near me, trained educators guide students through assignments—so your evenings are easier. We support each child like a tutor would, helping them succeed in class and build strong habits.

  • One-on-one support from experienced staff
  • Assignments done before pickup
  • Builds academic confidence and focus
  • Part of our top-rated after school programs Katy

Teamwork & Club Collaboration

Our before school programs near me and after-school clubs focus on connection. Whether it’s book discussions, team art, or science puzzles, children grow as thinkers and teammates. These moments build real-world collaboration and emotional intelligence.

  • Interactive group activities
  • Clubs shaped around kids’ interests
  • Builds leadership and social skills
  • Supports the goals of both after school care programs and before school care

Winter / Spring Break + SUMMER CAMP

STEAM Learning

Our summer camp curriculum incorporates STEAM learning (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) into exciting and fun experiences for your child every day! The basis of our curriculum is that children experience the most genuine learning when they are having a good time. With weekly themes and exciting field trips, our campers never want to leave. We create an environment where the kids are able to be themselves, while making lasting friendships and creating memories.

Whether your child is a budding scientist, a soccer enthusiast, an aspiring artist, or an adventurer at heart, we have a wide range of activities to captivate their imagination. From STEM challenges to arts and crafts, sports to outdoor adventures, our camp is a hub of diverse experiences. 

Our camps emphasize awareness, imagination, social and cognitive development. Our campers engage in a range of activities to explore their interests and discover their strengths. Whether it’s arts and crafts, sports, science, technology or super fun field trips, our campers become more social and intuitive. Our campers are always looking for something new and are willing to venture out to learn different things. Our activities encourage independence, healthy friendships and initiating leadership. Your children are bound to an enriching experience! 

We offer daily educational activities to reduce brain drain! Our Summer Camps provide time for structured learning with Math, Reading, Spelling, Writing and Geography.  We don’t want to let the summer fun drown out all the knowledge the kids gained during the school year!  We will have project-based play to reduce boredom and stimulate creative play. 

Each week will offer something fresh and fun, with lots of free play and 2 field trips per week.  You can choose to sign up for the entire summer or choose the week-s you want to attend.
