After-School Care That Working Parents Can Count On

When the school day ends at 2:30 but your work day ends at 6, you need somewhere your child actually wants to be — not just somewhere they're supervised. Our after-school program for ages 5–12 was built for working families in Marietta and the surrounding Cobb County communities.

A Real Place to Land After School

Not Just Supervision — A Place That Feels Like Yours

Our after-school program isn't a holding pattern. Children unwind, get homework support, eat a real snack, play, and spend time with friends in a structured, safe environment. The program is led by staff who know each child and stay in close communication with families.

We offer before- and after-school care every weekday — Before-School Care from 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM and After-School Care from 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM. We provide pickup from select Cobb County elementary schools (specific schools confirmed at enrollment based on current routes).

A Typical Afternoon

What Children Actually Do

Snack First

Kids arrive hungry. A real snack is the first thing that happens — before homework, before play.

Homework Time

Quiet time and adult support so homework actually gets done at school, not at the dinner table.

Free Play & Outdoor Time

Time to be a kid — run, play, decompress from the school day, build friendships.

Enrichment Activities

Art, games, group challenges, themed activities — structured options that keep school-agers engaged.

School Pickup

Pickup available from select Cobb County elementary schools. Specific routes confirmed at enrollment.

Bilingual Staff

Spanish-speaking staff means everyone in the room can be themselves and ask for what they need.

School Breaks & Holiday Camp

Coverage Through the Long Days

School breaks, teacher work days, and holiday weeks are when childcare gets hardest for working parents. We offer holiday camp coverage on Cobb County school break days so you don't have to scramble. Check our FAQ page or call for current calendar specifics.
