School-Age Childcare in Northeast Ohio – Before & After Care
A Supportive Space for Growth, Connection, and Choice
We understand that older children need a balance of support and independence. That’s why our school-age classrooms are designed to feel like a home away from home—where kids can unwind after a busy day, build friendships, and pursue interests in a safe, supervised space led by caring adults.
Whether it’s early in the morning or after school lets out, our program provides consistent routines and enriching activities that meet the needs of growing minds. Children enjoy access to books, art materials, games, science tools, building blocks, and quiet corners—so they can choose how to spend their time in a way that works for them.
We also offer transportation to and from local schools, flexible scheduling, and nutritious snacks and meals to help families manage the day-to-day with confidence and ease. On days when school is closed, we offer full-day care filled with engaging activities and themed fun—so parents can rest easy knowing their child is in good hands.
A Place to Belong, Explore, and Unwind
Our small, close-knit atmosphere gives children the comfort of consistency and the freedom to be themselves. Teachers build meaningful relationships with each child, offering individual and small-group support on projects and activities that inspire creativity and critical thinking.
We offer a wide variety of learning experiences to spark imagination, encourage self-expression, and build confidence:
Creative Exploration: From arts and crafts to DIY science projects, kids dive into hands-on fun that encourages self-expression.
Homework Help: Dedicated staff are available to support schoolwork and reinforce classroom learning in a relaxed setting.
Social Connection: We promote teamwork, communication, and friendship through games, group activities, and free play.
Active Play: Outdoor time is a daily part of our routine—kids stretch their legs, play sports, and explore nature.
STEM & Games: Brain-building activities like math games, puzzles, and building sets foster critical thinking and problem-solving.
Just-for-Fun Time: We believe in balance! Children enjoy foosball, air hockey, and relaxed downtime to recharge.
What our Parents say About us
At ChildScape, learning doesn’t stop when school is out. Each day includes opportunities to connect with the outdoors—whether it’s organized games, nature walks, or just time to move and breathe in the fresh air. Our secure outdoor spaces give school-age children the freedom to be active, stretch their imaginations, and build friendships in a natural setting.
During the summer, our popular Summer Camp Program kicks off with weekly themes, field trips, creative activities, and local adventures. From bowling and putt-putt to artsy afternoons and team games, camp gives children a chance to explore, grow, and make unforgettable memories in a supportive, fun-filled environment.
Healthy Snacks That Fuel Busy Minds
We know that school-age children need the right fuel to stay focused, energized, and ready to learn—and play. That’s why we provide nutritious snacks and meals that support their growth and well-being throughout the day.
In our before and after school program, children enjoy:
- A balanced breakfast in the morning (for early arrivals) to start the day off right
- An afternoon snack after school, giving them energy for play and homework
- Wholesome options that include fruits, whole grains, dairy, and proteins
- Accommodations for allergies and dietary restrictions, with careful attention to each child’s needs
Whether it’s a yogurt parfait, whole grain crackers and cheese, or fresh fruit with hummus, our snacks are designed to keep kids satisfied and focused—without the sugar crash. Mealtime also gives kids a chance to relax, connect with peers, and practice good habits in a supportive, family-style setting.
