The Christa McAuliffe School Age Program is a state licensed day care facility. Our staff consists of certified teachers and para-professionals caring for your children and planning activities that are age appropriate and safe. At least one staff member on duty at all times is CPR and first aid certified. Parents are welcome to observe their children at anytime.

Children are involved in various activities including  reading, homework, games, and physical activities both indoors and outdoors!

ACTIVITIES

CMA Latchkey is a safe place for students to go before and after school! In the mornings we have a quiet activity time. Students then have the option to go to breakfast (paid through the office by parents) or remain in latchkey until the first bell. In the afternoons, latchkey provides a nutritional snack. After snack, we go outside for some fresh air and activity then have reading, homework, and free play time. We strive for our latchkey students to learn social skills and responsibility all while having a FUN time!
