Before & After School

The Universal Kids School Age Child Care Program is licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education & Care (EEC) and is for children between the ages of 5 and 13.

The Before School Program is held Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. until the start of school. The After School Program is held Monday through Friday from the close of school until 6:00 p.m. Transportation is provided to and from Leeds Elementary School, Ryan Road School and Jackson Street School. Supervised walks are provided from Bridge Street School.

We always strive for the highest quality of care by having at least one (1) staff member for every thirteen (13) children. Each member of our staff brings a special quality and experience to our program. They receive ongoing training throughout the year and are FIRST AID and CPR Certified.

Our program offers activities that are educational and fun while exposing children to a variety of experiences. Our program provides both structured and free play time while setting aside time for children who may have homework. The staff is always available to answer questions and to help children through the parts they may have difficulty with.

 

Summer Program

 

Universal Kids is proud to offer a unique recreation program for children ages 5 through 13 running all summer long. Our 2009 Summer Recreation Program is running from June 29th until August 31st. Each week has individual themes where children will participate in a variety of educational and fun activities. Each theme will incorporate hands on learning and individual growth with cooperative and group adventure.

Parents can choose to enroll children for each individual theme that the child is interested in or attend the entire Summer Recreational Program, earning badges for each theme and culminating in a unique and fun completion ceremony the last weekend of the summer.

Our weekly themed sessions are from 7:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. and include a healthy morning and afternoon snack which is included with tuition. Children enrolled in our program have the choice of bringing lunch or purchasing lunch from Universal Kids.
