Welcome to our School-Age Room!

We are a pick up/drop off for Crisman Elementary in Portage, IN. Contact the school and bus barn for more information.

Our School-Age Room is a fun, safe, and enriching environment designed just for our older learners! Whether your child is with us after school or during summer break, we offer the perfect balance of relaxation, play, and continued learning.

We know that school-age children crave independence, social connection, and engaging challenges. That’s why our program offers structured activities, outdoor fun, and academic support tailored to their interests and developmental level. Whether your child is winding down from a long school day or enjoying summer break, our School-Age Room offers a supportive environment that keeps them learning, laughing, and growing. We help children stay curious, stay active, and stay connected—every day!
