NO DAY IS TYPICAL Under the watchful eye of our counselors—the majority having a college degree or completing college studies—your child will play, receive a snack and attend study hall. But, it is the special interaction between friends that is priceless. Whether it is acting on our
Quest after school programs provide quality care and activities that support a seamless transition from the school day to after school, by providing a safe, family-like atmosphere of continued learning, play and positive peer interaction.
drama stage, losing oneself in a book, playing on one of our age-specific playgrounds or participating in activities, your child’s imagination has no limits in Quest.
HERE WHEN YOU NEED US We understand the challenges after school care presents to working parents. The Quest programs are open immediately following dismissal until 6 p.m. throughout the school year. We are also open from 7:45 a.m. - 6 p.m. for most School holidays, early arrival days as well as fall, winter and spring breaks.

Our low counselor-to-student ratio fosters the hands-on interaction our students need when doing homework, participating in activities or simply playing after a challenging school day. We foster the intellectual, moral, emotional and physical development of each student in an after school setting.

Cougar Quest is located in our state-of-the-art facility in lower Luck Hall. Full of art work, comfy couches and multiple spaces for play and peer interaction, Cougar Quest is a wonderful place to transition from school to after school before going home. Cooking, reading, acting or study hall, in addition to special Friday activities, makes Cougar Quest a favorite with our students in Grades 1-4.

MIDDLE SCHOOL QUEST Crossing over the bridge to Middle School also means transitioning from Cougar Quest to Middle School Quest. Developed for our oldest Quest students, this program has a special emphasis on getting a jump on evening homework with the assistance of a study skills coordinator, hired to guide and supervise these Middle School students. The fun kicks in after the hour-long study hall, with opportunities for students to play ping pong, gaga ball, basketball, read, do crafts or just chill. Understanding not everyone needs after school care, there exists a study hall-only option for those who seek assistance in getting homework completed before heading home for the evening.
ACTIVITIES
