The bridge between the school bell and the dinner table.
Recess After-School Care gives working families a warm, dependable place for their child to unwind, get homework done, and enjoy the rest of their afternoon — all under the care of licensed early-childhood staff who know your child by name.
Every afternoon blends structure with freedom: a healthy snack, quiet time for homework, guided enrichment, and open play with friends. It's the kind of after-school routine parents wish they'd had growing up.
Available Monday through Friday from 3 to 8 p.m. during the school year, with the same trusted caregivers, safety standards, and creative environment as the rest of Recess.
Made for families with busy afternoons.
- Two working parents who need reliable coverage until dinner
- Kids who thrive with structure, snacks, and social time after school
- Families looking for homework support without the after-school chaos
- Parents who want enrichment beyond another screen
- Older siblings of children already enrolled at Recess
- Anyone who wants a calm, consistent end to the school day
An afternoon that flows — from pickup to pickup.
The afternoon has a gentle rhythm: arrive, decompress, refuel, focus, then play. Kids leave regulated, fed, and ready for the evening at home.
Arrival & Unwind
A warm welcome from familiar faces, a spot to stash backpacks, and a few minutes to shake off the school day before diving in.
Snack Time
A healthy, filling snack to bridge the gap between lunch and dinner — served together, family style, so kids can chat and reset.
Homework Help
Quiet, focused work time with staff on hand to answer questions, keep kids on task, and celebrate the finished worksheet.
Enrichment
Rotating activities like art, STEM projects, music, movement, and outdoor play — the good stuff that rarely fits into the school day.
Free Play
Unstructured time with friends to build, imagine, and blow off steam — the part of childhood that matters most.
Pickup
A smooth, unhurried handoff with a quick recap of the afternoon so you leave in the loop and your child leaves ready for home.
