After School Program | Winter Garden

We offer free transportation pickup from select registered schools in the Winter Garden and Windermere area. The list of participating schools may change each school year based on enrollment and district partnerships. Contact us directly to find out if your child's elementary school participates in our transportation program and to secure your child's spot.

Our teachers provide individualized tutoring with assignments, reading support, and mathematics practice. We help students develop good study habits and organizational skills while ensuring they complete their work correctly. School age children receive one-on-one attention as needed, and we communicate with parents about their academic development throughout the week.

Our afterschool programs include introduction to Spanish, science experiments, arts projects, and our advanced Cranium Explorers curriculum that builds critical thinking skills. Kids learn through hands-on activities that make education fun and memorable while supporting their personal growth and helping students achieve success.

Yes, we provide a nutritious afternoon snack for all school age children in our program. Parents should ensure their child eats lunch at school, as we do not provide dinner. We can accommodate most dietary restrictions with advance notice from families.

Our afterschool programs follow the OCPS calendar, which means we typically close on school holidays and teacher workdays. On early release days, we adjust our schedule to accommodate the earlier pickup time from schools. We notify families in advance of any schedule changes throughout the school year.

We use positive reinforcement and clear expectations to help school age children succeed in our program. Our teachers focus on building character and teaching appropriate social skills that support personal growth. If behavioral issues arise, we work with families to develop consistent approaches between home and our afterschool programs.

Students have access to tablets, laptops, and smartboards for educational activities and research projects. We balance screen time with hands-on activities and physical play. Technology serves as a tool to enhance academic development rather than entertainment during after school hours.

Our program typically requires enrollment for the full week schedule (Monday - Friday). However, we may accommodate special scheduling needs based on family circumstances and program capacity. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.

We provide regular updates about your child's activities, progress with assignments, and participation in youth development activities. Teachers share information about projects, achievements, and any concerns. We believe strong communication helps families stay connected to their child's after school experience and academic development.

All staff complete background checks and safety training. Our facility features secure entry systems and proper supervision throughout the program. We maintain appropriate child-to-staff ratios and follow strict pickup procedures to ensure every participant's safety and security in our safe space.
