Tucson Unified School District

    School Age Programs - 
    Before and After School

    School age programs are for children enrolled in kindergarten through the age of 14 years old.  The program is designed to provide enrichment and learning experiences that enhance the school curriculum. School Age programs offer a stimulating, safe and welcoming environment for young children, with time for recreation and planned activities that are fun, educational and supported by trained staff.

    Each child and family are partners with teachers in the design of the care and education program. We are guided by developmentally appropriate and culturally relevant practices; in addition, we look to research and established best practice to inform our curriculum; and, to maintain program excellence, we value continuing education for our teaching staff in the field of early childhood education.
