Johnstown, PA (October 1, 2020) – With many area schools either back in the classroom or on a hybrid schedule and parents returning to the workforce, families are looking for homework help and child care. The Learning Lamp’s Before and After School programs, which offer peace of mind to working families, have been reformatted to offer school-aged children an enhanced structure and skills practice before and after the school day.
“We’re here to help working families and make child care easy for them and fun for the children that attend,” explained Lauren Stem, The Learning Lamp’s school-age program manager. “Our new and improved program now features a theme for each day of the week so that parents and children know exactly what to expect each day.”
Before school care allows students to prepare for their day, while after school care features homework help, a healthy snack, and a new and improved schedule full of fun, hands-on activities that include:
Maker Monday – Design, create, experiments, build, invent, tinker and explore using a variety of tools and materials.
STEM Tuesday – Learning is FUN when you fuse together Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
Around the World Wednesday – Travel the world learning about different cultures without having to board a plane.
Artsy Thursday – Creativity is the name of the game as students use their imaginations to explore art.
Fit Friday – Let’s get moving! Fridays are all about getting up and active!
Before and After School care is offered Monday through Friday as early as 6 a.m. to the start of the school day and from the end of the school day to as late as 6 p.m. depending on location. Tuition is $4.80 per hour, with child care subsidy available to families who qualify. Full-day care is available during the summer, on teacher in-service days, school holidays and snow days.
