Before and After School Care

Nestled in the heart of the community at Paris Central School, our Paris Central Program is designed to provide exceptional before and after school care that complements the educational experience of your child. This program offers a supportive and enriching environment where children can start and end their school day with positivity and enthusiasm.

In the morning, our before school care sets a nurturing tone, allowing children to ease into their day with engaging activities that awaken their minds and prepare them for academic challenges. This service is ideal for parents seeking a calm and structured environment for their children in the early hours, ensuring they are settled and ready for learning when school begins.

After the school bell rings, our after school care program provides a vibrant and stimulating atmosphere where children can decompress from the school day and engage in a variety of activities. From homework assistance to ensure academic success, to arts and crafts, sports, and free play, our program offers a diverse range of options that cater to all interests and ages. This blend of activities is designed to foster social skills, creativity, and physical health.

The Paris Central Program is staffed by dedicated professionals who are passionate about child development and education. Our team is committed to providing a safe, engaging, and nurturing setting that supports the growth and happiness of every child. Parents can have confidence that their children are in good hands, receiving quality care that enriches their school experience and supports their overall development.
