School Agers are greeted with a snack for the bus ride in the afternoon, along with an additional snack at the center.

Plenty Of Time For Homework
The center understand parents are busy and encourage time for homework to be started.
Wii Games Keep Things Fun And Balanced
School agers have options of active Wii games each day to keep their bodies moving and have a blast.
A Solid Backup Plan For When School Is Out
When school is out, we are in! We have a separate back up care program for days schools are closed for holidays and professional development. We always plan a field trip to take children on when school is out.
Yummy Breakfast And Snacks Included In Tuition
Before school – we’ll get them breakfast!
After school – we’ll get them a snack on the bus on the way to us, and then at 5pm again to hold them off for dinner.
Safe Bus Transportation For Your Convenience
Bus transportation to and from your child’s school is available during the school year. All of our bus drivers hold a Michigan Chauffeurs License and have been trained in proper vehicle safety. All of our vehicles are equipped with first aid kits and GPS. Your child’s school schedule and emergency card are always carried when picking up or dropping off your child. At the beginning of the school year our drivers communicate with your child’s school to designate a safe and appropriate pick up and drop off area for children attending The Learning Tree.
Trusted Curriculum Supports Growing Minds
The curriculum for the School-Age Program differs as the children spend most of their time at school. Goals for the School-Age Program include:
- Providing quiet area for homework and study after school
- Be available to help encourage children with their class work
- Provide children with games that introduce the concept of strategy
- Encourage children to make classroom rules to develop accountability
- Provide children with games that teach mathematics and reasoning skills
- Off-site field trips when schools are on holiday breaks. Popular destinations include: swimming, bowling, roller-skating and visits to the Science Center
We ask parents to bring a water bottle, extra clothes on the first day. Nap Items are needed too – a fitted sheet and a blanket or stuffed animal your child is comfortable with!
Our bus drivers drive either a 14 passenger multi-functional school bus, or a minivan. All of our vehicles have regular safety checks and maintenance.
The classroom ratio is 1 teacher to 18 children. On field trips, our ratio is 1 teacher to 12 children. However, if on a swimming field trip, our ratio is 1 teacher to 4 children.
