Our aftercare program offers a warm, enriching end to your child's school day—blending unstructured outdoor play with calm indoor options in our brand-new, cozy schoolhouse. Children can hike the trails, explore the forest, build forts, or simply unwind with crafts, books, or quiet activities inside.

This is a space where children can relax, reconnect with nature, and recharge—whether they're full of energy or ready for downtime after a busy day at school.
