Homework Complete In A Screen-Free Space

No TVs or tablets to distract them, just quiet time to focus on homework with a teacher nearby. That means assignments get finished before you even arrive for pickup.

One Bus Ride From School To Somewhere They Want To Be

With roughly half of all ALC families in the school-age program, this isn’t an afterthought — it’s real infrastructure, with ALC’s own fleet of buses, vans, and SUVs reaching schools across the Valley.
Instead of a rushed pickup, your child gets a smooth ride straight to their safe, screen-free space with the homework help, friends, and fun activities they look forward to day after day.

Miss Carolina in the school age room goes above and beyond for her kiddos planning fun activities and keeping toys and supplies fresh and interesting for them. She runs her room firm but fair and really listens to the kids.

My two children were at ALC for several years and we're so well taken care of. They had an opportunity to begin karate lessons while at the day care and were also able to participate in many other activities from other organizations that provided their services during the day. Each classroom had a lesson structure and children were not ever sitting idle or just watching a screen to keep occupied. Ms. Paulette was wonderful as she worked with my son's classroom. She provided amazing care and took extra time to help the children with after school homework.
— Marifel
My bigger kid ended her ALC time at the beginning of the school year but she had so much fun with Mr Ace! During the summer the big kids get to enjoy different trips to the pool, park, and museums. She really appreciates everyone and so do I!
