After School Program
If you are considering after school options for your child, I invite you to consider Porter’s Neck Play House’s After School Program.
Weekday afternoons we focus on your child's afterschool needs! We look forward to growing with your family and getting to know your child and helping them, and you, through the school year. Our hope is to help ease the afterschool burden for children and their parents by providing transportation to our facility each day where we have a snack and help with homework in a comfortable, relaxed setting.
Some children and parents prefer smaller and quiet settings over larger groups with older and, by nature, louder kids. We cater to the dynamics of younger who need quieter and more relaxed afternoons after long days at school and we take pride in being welcoming and warm with just the right amount of structure. “Play” is the basic focus of our facility and each day after homework the children will help guide the day’s play. Some will want to play quietly, or rest. Some will want to read books, some will want to create master pieces and we will help them through these decisions by providing ample ways to explore, create and develop.
We schedule our staff around the number of children enrolled. We are somewhat flexible; however, there is a balance necessary to ensure your child gets the care that you expect. We want you to know that your child’s safety and wellbeing is our utmost concern.
While here we will all practice discipline, manners and respect for ourselves, teachers, parents and other students. Your child’s positive attitude will be encouraged which will carry over into school work and all other activities.
For more information about our facility please visit us or call 910-319-7879
