School-age ProgramsSchool-age kids are both independent and social, eager for structured learning as well as time to do their own thing. We provide both! Our friendly and flexible before and/or after school program provides time for schoolwork, learning activities, and play.
We also offer a fun summer program for school-age kids at Merry Moose Childcare and Preschool 3 in Richmond. Much more than childcare, the goal of our school-age programs is to have a positive influence on your child’s school performance by encouraging a lifelong love of learning and healthy social skills. Teachers are available to help students complete homework and provide fun educational activities that continue to build your child’s independence and self-confidence. Our before and/or after school-age program in Richmond is equipped for children between the ages of 5 and 8. |
school-age CurriculumThe Merry Moose school-age curriculum is created to meet the unique needs of each child. We make learning fun, with a focus on strengthening their literacy, math, science, and social-emotional skills. Parent conferences are held twice a year to share formal feedback with families.
Children learn at different rates and in different ways, and we encourage the process versus praise the result. Our school-age program is well-balanced, with time to complete homework, participate in both independent and teacher-led activities, and socialize with peers. Weather permitting, your child will go outside each day for free play and some structured activities. |
School-age Schedules
Merry Moose Childcare and Preschool offers care for students before school (beginning at 6:00 a.m.) and after school (until 6:00 p.m.). We also have an all-day summer program.
