Daily After-School Care

Our team welcomes children after school in our three rooms in the JFKS elementary school building. After a brief welcome circle and daily updates, our staff accompanies the children to the Aula or our EC room.

Typical daily schedule

Children taking the 3:00 or 4:00 pm school bus are accompanied by our staff. We make sure all children arrive on time for their after-school activities.

Outdoor Facilities and Activities

The spacious and attractive outdoor facilities of JFKS are available to us at all times. We aim to spend as much time as possible outside with the children: playing soccer, table tennis, basketball, hide and seek, and whatever else we can think of.

Indoors we have a wide selection of board games, a huge collection of Lego and Kapla bricks, costumes for role play, arts and crafts supplies, and a book corner for reading and relaxing.

On school-free days we offer full-day excursions and activities from 8:45 am to 3:00 pm. These include:
