We offer a variety of School-Age programs designed to meet the needs of working families. Each program is run by highly qualified, trained Out-of-School Time professionals who are dedicated Dearborn Public Schools employees.

Our Kids Club Before and After School care is currently available at 9 school sites.

New for the 2026–2027 School Year: Nowlin Elementary has been added to our locations!

Why Our Program Stands Out

Our program is more than just childcare—it's an opportunity for your child to engage in meaningful activities, build new friendships, and continue their learning journey in a relaxed, safe setting.

Trained, Safety-Certified Staff: Your child's well-being is our priority. Our dedicated team is CPR and First Aid certified, compassionate, and highly experienced in child development and emergency handling.
Enriching, Tailored Activities: From arts and crafts to interactive games and projects. We tailor our daily activities to your child's unique interests and developmental stage.
Community & Belonging: We foster a warm, inclusive atmosphere where every child feels valued. Group projects and collaborative play help children build lasting friendships and essential social skills.
Scheduling Flexibility: With extended care available as early as 7:00 am and as late as 6:00 PM
