Our  Programs

In addition to School Age Child Care and Summer Camp programs, we offer several programs for adults and children of varied interests.  See below for examples of some of these fine programs:

After School Care is available for Old Farmers Road School, Long Valley Middle School, Kossmann/Flocktown School (participants are bussed from there to Old Farmers Road School), and Mansfield Elementary School.  The program runs from the time of dismissal until 6pm.  More information about After School Care can be found here.

Babysitting - This class will train teenagers in the art of babysitting. Emphasis will be on safety issues and childcare skills.  Participants will learn basic first aid, infant care, child development, recreational ideas, and positive discipline techniques for all ages of children. We will formulate a safety information checklist for babysitters to use at each job.  Additional information including the program flyer and registration can be found here in PDF format.
