Our School Age Program
Before and after school should be more than just childcare — it should be a place where children can relax, explore their interests, build friendships, and continue learning through hands-on experiences. At Creative Kids Academy, our School Age Program provides a safe, engaging environment where children enjoy the freedom to make choices, discover new passions, and stay active while developing confidence, responsibility, and independence. Whether it’s before school, after school, on school release days, or during summer break, every day is filled with opportunities for fun, learning, and adventure.

Staying Connected Throughout the Day
Even as children become more independent, we know families appreciate staying connected. Through the Procare app, we share important updates, photos, and highlights from your child’s day so you can stay informed and celebrate the experiences they’re enjoying with us.
What Parents Love About Our School Age Programs
The staff does an incredible job connecting with older kids. My daughter always has a story to tell about something fun they did together.
CKA is an awesome school — great communication, and we’ve seen real improvement in behavior. The location and field trips are a big plus, and our child’s school friends go there too.
Our children have grown from the infant and toddler rooms up through preschool and school age. They LOVE going every day, and we trust the staff immensely.
My child adores her teachers and all the fun things they do inside the classroom as well as in the community with special events.
