Supervised school-age care, supporting routines with study time and activities

The Before and After School Care program at Gabina Learning Center provides supervision and structured activities for children between five and twelve years old outside regular school hours. Families in Bowie, Maryland, often use this type of program to bridge the gap between school schedules and work schedules. The program offers a safe and organized environment where children can spend time before school or after dismissal while participating in supervised activities.

How It Works

The program is organized to support children during the hours surrounding the school day:

  • Children check in with staff members when they arrive before school or after the school day ends.
  • Time is provided for homework or quiet study, depending on the child’s school assignments.
  • Recreational activities such as games, group play, and creative projects are offered after academic tasks.
  • Children interact with peers in supervised group settings that encourage cooperation and communication.
  • Staff members guide transitions between activities and maintain supervision throughout the program.
  • Parents or authorized guardians pick up children at scheduled times following the program.

What to Expect

Parents can expect a supervised environment that balances quiet study time with recreational activities. In the morning, children typically prepare for the school day in a calm setting, while the afternoon program allows time for homework and structured play. This schedule helps maintain consistency between school and home routines while ensuring children remain engaged and supervised outside regular school hours.
