school age
When you choose Kiddie Karrasel Academy for your school-ager, you can feel confident they have a trusted place to land before and after school, on breaks, and all summer long. We're committed to making that time feel like more than just a stop between school and home.
THE KKA DIFFERENCE
One location for your whole family
If you already have a younger sibling enrolled at KKA, our School Age program makes drop-off and pick-up simple — one location, one team you trust, and continuity across your whole family's childcare experience.
A trusted, familiar team
Your school-ager is cared for by caregivers who know them and your family well, creating a comfortable, consistent environment before and after the school day.
Real-time parent communication
Our app keeps you connected throughout the day, so you always know how your child's before- and after-school time is going.
Healthy meals, every time
We provide a healthy breakfast before school and a healthy snack after, so your child is always fueled and ready to go.
More than just a stop between school and home
With hands-on activities, outdoor recreation, and full-day fun during breaks and summer, KKA is a place your school-ager actually looks forward to.
"Our oldest transitioned to kindergarten with ease and our younger so sprints into the center every morning, making a mother's drop off a breeze. Thank you KKA for all you've given our family. I truly cannot imagine a better place."
— Brett & Jordan
AFTER SCHOOL ARRIVAL: Kids return to KKA, refuel with a healthy snack, and transition into the afternoon with time to unwind or dive into activities.
BEFORE SCHOOL: Kids arrive for a warm welcome and a healthy breakfast before heading out to catch the bus to school.
A Glimpse of a Typical Day
AFTERNOON ACTIVITIES: Hands-on activities — art, drama, cooking, science, organized games, or quiet reading — built around each child's interests.
LATE AFTERNOON & PICK-UP (until 5:30 PM): Wind-down activities, games, and casual play as families begin to arrive.
OUTDOOR RECREATION: Plenty of time to run, play, and be active outside, weather permitting.
Summers and school breaks bring even more adventure!
Our School Age friends enjoy full days filled with special activities, themed weeks, field trips, and plenty of outdoor play. Reach out to our director for our current summer and break schedule.
Big kids, big adventures!
Our School Age program is packed with hands-on lessons and activities designed around what actually excites each child — from coding and robotics to sports, art, drama, cooking, science experiments, organized games, or curling up with a good book. Whatever sparks their curiosity, we're ready to fuel it.
We build in plenty of time for outdoor recreation and active play, because after a full day of school, kids need room to run, laugh, and just be kids. It's the perfect after-school landing spot — engaging enough to keep them excited to come, relaxed enough to let them recharge.
