History
The After School Program was established in 1992 as a partnership with the Springdale School District to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for school age children. We provide after school care from the time school is dismissed until 6:00pm, Monday through Friday, and are conveniently located in every elementary school, except Jones and Parson Hills Elementary. We also have expanded our program to include Hellstern Middle School.
The After School Program offers an exciting summer program, and provides all day care for most holiday breaks. Every member of our staff is privately background checked, and CPR/First Aid certified.
We are licensed by the Arkansas Department of Human Services, Better Beginnings level 2 with several locations achieving level 3. We accept the child care voucher program, the essential workers funding, and the Ottawa Tribe childcare funding. The After School Program is a member of the Better Business Bureau, the Springdale Chamber of Commerce, and are proud sponsors of numerous local charities and events.
