When you’re a working family with school-age children, finding reliable before- and after-school care can be hard to come by. Lake Dow Learning Academy has you covered.
Our before and after care programs go well beyond homework help. We support children in becoming the kindest, most capable, and most resilient version of themselves. That means giving each child the space, encouragement, and materials they need to follow their passions—whether they want to start a drama club, build a volcano, or create a comic book. No matter where their talents take them, we create positive communities of friends with games, STEM projects, creative arts, and plenty of playtime to keep kids happy, bright, and healthy.
After school’s out, Lake Dow Learning Academy provides transportation for kids from their school right to our doors. In other words, you can have peace of mind that your most important person in the world is being taken care of.
As educators, the team at Lake Dow Learning Academy is committed to helping children explore existing interests, as well as develop new ones through our before and after school programs. That’s where our School Age program comes in. We encourage their creativity and curiosity by offering a range of learning experiences from project based learning and spot challenges to classroom connections. These help to provide them with opportunities to grow and develop, explore new interests, and build on existing ones.
Lake Dow Learning Academy’s daily curriculum is built on a holistic approach. We believe in focusing on the whole child, physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially. It’s why, beyond play time, we also offer so many different opportunities for them to dig deeper into existing interests and develop new ones, too. Along the way, our team of caring and committed teachers is always there, providing support and encouragement.
