Sparta Area Schools provides an opportunity for child care for our K-5th grade students (Kindergarten option: if there is a sibling in the program, the KDG child may attend.)
Child care is located at Appleview Elementary. Before school program opens at 6:30 am. After school program closes at 6:00 pm.
The program not only provides students with supervision, but enhances their physical, intellectual, social and emotional development. We aim for the following:
- To provide children with safe, loving, relaxed care.
- To provide children with routine, yet have time to explore and engage in creative play.
- To provide an environment that stimulates and challenges children intellectually.
- To develop respect for others and for self.
- To have no child in grades K-5 at home unsupervised.
- To develop a sense of responsibility.
Some things your child may experience at Before and After School Care are new friendships, fun learning experiences, crafts, activities, homework help, outdoor activities, science experiments, and nutritional snacks.
Transportation is provided between Appleview and Ridgeview Elementary.
