Our Afternoon program runs daily from the end of the school day until 6pm. While supervised and led by our engaged staff, we provide an integrated family oriented atmosphere that captures our students. Our understanding of each child’s individuality is what makes ACE’s program function to its full ability and is what our program philosophy stands for. ACE offers a wide range of activities that meet the needs of each child’s interests without a highly structured environment. Each day offers Enrichment Programming with several different components. Our staff is readily available to encourage our students in the process of creative learning by encouraging independence. ACE will offer a variety of activities and enrichment programs daily that is up to each child's choosing on what they want to participate in. Our main goal is for ACE to provide an environment where all children feel safe, comfortable and at home while enjoying their after school care experience.

Minimum Days ACE’s program follows the San Carlos School District calendar. ACE offers extended hours on the days that the school district has minimum days (where school is dismissed one or two hours earlier than usual) and is included in your monthly tuition. As these are longer days we offer additional enrichments that include longer Project Based Learning activities. On minimum days we also serve a home cooked more substantial snack. |
We INSPIRE. We MOTIVATE. We CARE.
