Your Last Stop Before Home after school childcare
Home-style after school childcare for K-5 in Nyack
About After Class Nyack
Our Philosophy
You can't always be home when your child finishes school, but that doesn't mean your child can't feel like they're at home.
When my oldest was in preschool, I worked in an office 9-6 each day. She was always the last child picked up. It broke my heart that at such a young age, she had to be "on" for an extended period of time. After school childcare can be a reprieve when done correctly. My goal is for your child to come to my home and feel like they can exhale and just be a kid, who is taken care of by adults, not a kid who has to behave for adults.
About After Class Nyack
Decompress
After a long day of school, children need time to exhale. When they walk through the doors of their “second home,” they know a dedicated adult is there to care for them. They can let go of the responsibilities and pressure of the school day, and get re-centered in themselves knowing they are loved and safe.
Snack
Each day children will be greeted with a well-balanced snack. Older children who are interested in helping prepare the snack are welcome to flex their culinary skills. One day per week, we will do a cooking activity together as a group.
Homework Help
Once each child has had a snack and time to decompress, we will move into homework help. Homework time will be limited to what is age-appropriate for each child. I do not believe in putting additional pressure or stress on children, so their cues will let me know when it's time to pack it up. I will honor their needs.
Fun Engagement
I love to have fun and believe learning and work can (and really ought to be) fun. We will alternate between music (I play ukulele and guitar and can do some light instruction), Spanish (I am fluent in Spanish), cooking, crafts, and more. When children want to relax with a book and do free play, they're encouraged to do that as well.
