The Children’s Afterschool Center began in September, 1983. Our goal was to provide a safe and caring atmosphere for children while their parents were at work. The Children’s Afterschool Center is an owner-operated program that hasn’t grown too big and hasn’t forgotten that all children still need a safe and caring atmosphere. We always engage children in multiple and diverse activities.
Kinnelon
Our Kinnelon site hosts an after school program. This location is at St. David’s Church, 91 Kinnelon Road, Kinnelon, NJ.
In the afternoon hours, we follow a calendar which offers many hours of age-appropriate curriculum to engage your child’s interests. We maintain a recreational atmosphere which is safe, vibrant, and playful. Children are able to enjoy a snack each day and are encouraged to start homework time, then join in the afternoon activity. Parents may pick up their children by 6:15pm. We incorporate nature, dance, sports, free time, games, drama, art, music, community involvement, and other interesting and fun activities. In the event of inclement weather and schools close early, we are open for you so that you may continue to work without interruption. We close early on such days. If school is closed all day due to poor weather conditions, we are also closed. Please have alternative child care pre-arranged.

We offer a before and after school program at Hillview School in Pequannock, NJ. Before school care begins 7:15am. Children are encouraged to play in a structured fashion with table games and varied activities so that when school begins they are relaxed. They may bring breakfast and enjoy a calm meal.
