Now Enrolling at Lapham & Marquette for the 2024-2025 School Year
School-age children spend 80 percent of their waking hours outside of school, while 1 in 5 young people in the U.S. are alone after the school day ends. High-quality afterschool programs promote positive youth development and offer a safe space where children can explore their potential. Effective after school programs provide learning settings that bring a wide range of benefits to children, families, and communities. After school programs can support social, emotional, cognitive, and academic development, promote physical health, and provide a safe and supportive environment for children.
For us to provide a high-quality After after-school program, Red Caboose:
- maintain a ratio of 1 teacher to 10-12 children
- provides a nourishing snack
- offers a variety of cooperative play and learning opportunities for your child
Our program is child-centered. It allows time for quiet play and reading, active and outdoor play, field trips, and both small and large group and individual activities. Activities are also offered in the areas of arts and crafts, construction, small manipulative toys, games, dramatic play, science, technology, and cooking.
NOTE: The After School Program at Lapham is licensed to serve children ages 5 and older.
