What’s Included in ABC Ault’s After-School Program?

Daily Enrichment

Each day, children engage in hands-on experiences like:

• STEM experiments and art projects

These experiences are designed to complement classroom learning while feeling like fun.

Outdoor Play & Movement

Our after-school schedule includes plenty of time to move and stretch, including:

This helps students release energy and reset their minds before heading home.

A Caring, Consistent Environment

Children thrive when they know what to expect. Our educators:

Whether your child needs extra encouragement or a quiet corner, we meet them where they are.

Pro Tip: Ask About School Pickups from Highland Elementary!

For added convenience, ABC Ault offers transportation from Highland Elementary, making the transition from school to after-care seamless. This service saves families time and supports working parents who can’t leave the office early.

Common Concern: “Is My Child Too Old for Child Care?”

Not at all! Kids in kindergarten through 5th grade still benefit from supportive environments that combine exploration, peer interaction, and learning through play. Our school-age care encourages social-emotional growth, reinforces responsibility, and supports a healthy work-play balance.
