The School-Age After-School Program at Big, Little School is offered to Valley Oaks Elementary and Hunter’s Creek Elementary students. The School-Age Program at Big, Little School is designed to provide school-age children through 5th grade a safe, fun and enriching environment in which to spend time between their regular school program and the time they spend at home. The schedule of activities we offer is derived from the needs of the children. While the school-aged children are out of their regular academic program we attempt to provide opportunities for them to grow as a whole person emotionally, socially, physically and intellectually while allowing for individual creativity.

Youth instructors encourage participation in scheduled group games, science experiments, cooking projects, community service work, dramatic play and art activities. Because we offer programs for a wide range, we solicit input from the children during the planning process. Each age group will be set up according to the needs and interests of the group.
