Ages 5 to 8: Child Care

School-aged children have a variety of child care options.  They can continue attending child care centers and family child care homes, or they can also start attending after-school youth development programs at school and neighborhood sites.  The Children's Commission is proud to work with many after school programs, including the TEAM UP program, which offers academic and cultural enrichment to elementary, middle and high school students.
