Frequently Asked Questions
We know you’re busy, and finding quality childcare is difficult. Instead of off-site daycare or babysitting services, Apollo’s Before & After Care Programs allow the convenient option of leaving your children in the comfort of their own school, from the moment you drop them off in the morning until you’re ready to pick them up, at an affordable price. Our well-trained educators ensure your child’s regular school-day experience is continued in a fun, meaningful way. Our primary focus is to enrich our students’ academic, social, emotional, and physical development. Each day, we provide a safe and secure check in/out process, a healthy snack, homework time, physical activity time, an enrichment experience, and supervised free play. Our project-based curriculum ensures your kids will be learning new skills and bringing lots of materials home. Your kids will love Apollo!
Homework time is an important part of each day at Apollo. Our staff dedicates a set portion of the daily schedule to ensuring kids get the help they need. Through checking their work and answering directed questions, Apollo educators guide our students on the right track towards completing their tasks. We know how precious family time is during a busy week – it feels great to have your child show you that they’ve gotten the job done!
A healthy snack is provided with tuition, but you’re welcome to send an additional snack with your child. We require snack-time to be peanut free and will let you know if there are any specific allergic safety concerns with the group.
Apollo AS Instructors are skilled, experienced professionals who come from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines. Our Instructors are social workers, teachers and college students devoted to fitness and academic enrichment. Apollo’s Training Team provides on and off-line training and our certification process must be passed by each educator before they are able to enter your school. They are also checked on frequently by our Area Coordinators to ensure programs of the highest quality.
All Apollo After School educators have extensive experience working with children in grades PK-8. They are all certified in Pediatric First Aid and CPR. All Apollo After School employees are subject to a criminal back-ground check before being permitted to work in our programs.
Actual times will vary, depending on your school bell times, and will be included in both your program flyer and your parent handbook. The “Daily Clubs” section refers to our enrichment content, which focuses on 5 of our 19 different learning curriculums. This will vary from school to school, and relies heavily on parent input during the selection process. It is also something we can change during the school year. Please let us know if there’s a topic you’d like to offer!
