The Scholar Station

School-age kids need more than supervision. They need a place where homework gets done, curiosity keeps growing, and there's always something worth showing up for.

Our program provides structure and supervision in the mornings, afternoons, and late evenings, while we keep children energized with healthy meals and snacks. We help with homework, STEAM, and Montessori projects while building character development activities on a flexible schedule, including a full-day option that typically includes field trips.

Program highlights

  • Before and after school care with homework support
  • STEAM and Montessori enrichment projects
  • Character development activities
  • Healthy meals and snacks included
  • The School Shuttle: transportation to and from participating Lancaster schools
  • Full-day care on school breaks, with field trips (past favorites: Dry Town Water Park, the Getty Museum, nature hikes, Vince's Pizza)
