School-Aged Care

The Little Farmers After School Program provides a reliable and affordable childcare solution for busy families, with the added convenience of both school bus drop-off and pickup directly at our location.

 

We offer consistent care during school breaks and weather-related closures, giving working families peace of mind knowing their child will be cared for no matter the circumstances. To kickstart the day, we also offer an optional breakfast, ensuring children are fueled and ready for the day ahead.

 

Our program focuses on outdoor play, physical activity, and nature exploration, all in a screen-free environment. Children enjoy fun, active games, and hands-on experiences that foster creativity, teamwork, and social skills. At Little Farmers, we prioritize your child's well-being by providing a consistent, enriching before and after-school routine that supports their growth, independence, and healthy habits.

​

The Little Farmers Before and After School Program seamlessly transitions into our dependable summer care, offering families year-round consistency and peace of mind. Whether it's during the school year or summer break, children enjoy the same nurturing environment, engaging outdoor activities, and screen-free playtime. Our summer program continues the fun with new adventures, ensuring a smooth and familiar routine for kids as they transition from the school year to summer. With flexible care options and a focus on enrichment, Little Farmers is here to provide reliable, consistent care for your child throughout the entire year.

​

Our Summer Childcare Program at Little Farmers is designed for kids ages 3 years old through 4th grade, offering a fun, nature-filled experience where outdoor time, gardening, and play take center stage!

 

Children will have the chance to explore our garden, plant and harvest fresh produce, and care for our chickens and goats. With plenty of outdoor play, creative activities, and hands-on learning, every day is an exciting adventure. We believe summer is the perfect time for kids to get dirty, build friendships, and develop important skills through active, unstructured play.

"As working parents, we can't express enough how much the Little Farmers After School and Summer Care Programs have meant to our family. The reliability and predictability of the programs give both our kids and us peace of mind. We know that whether it's during school breaks, weather-related closures, or the summer months, our children will have a safe, fun, and enriching place to be. The focus on screen-free time and outdoor play is so important to us. It’s reassuring to know that we don’t have to use precious vacation time for unexpected school closures, and that my children are getting consistent care. I truly appreciate the thoughtful approach Little Farmers takes to support working families and making our busy lives much easier!"
