Yellow House Playschool offers an After School Care program for Crocker Highlands Elementary School kindergartners. We currently provide care on Mondays and Wednesdays, with additional days possible depending on demand.
YHP Director Jan Lozito meets students at a designated spot after school and walks with them safely to Yellow House Playschool, about a 15–20 minute walk. Once all children are accounted for, the group takes the safest route together.
After a healthy snack, children can choose from a wide range of activities — from arts and crafts projects to board games, puzzles, and building toys like Lego and magnet tiles. Our imaginative play area is always popular, filled with trucks, trains, dolls, dress-ups, and more.
We value outdoor play and make full use of our spacious yard and covered deck. Outdoor features include a large sandbox, mud kitchen, sensory and water tables, outdoor games, and a unique chicken coop / climbing structure.
For children who need a quieter moment, cozy areas are available for reading, drawing, or resting to help children decompress.
To complement the kindergarten curriculum, children engage in fun, age-appropriate games, activities and books. Every afternoon ends with a read-aloud time, helping build and establish early literacy skills.
YHP is a screen-free environment, with the exception of an occasional rainy-day movie.
Mondays: Pick up at 2:45 PM at Crocker Highlands. Deadline for parent pick up is 5:45 PM
Wednesdays: Pick up at 1:30 PM at Crocker Highlands. Deadline for parent pick up is 5:45 PM.
We do not charge for care during school breaks (Thanksgiving, winter, and spring), and tuition will be prorated accordingly. Tuition is not prorated for single-day federal holidays, and no refunds are given for sick days or other absences.
With advance notice, and if space is available, families may sign up for drop-in days. Payment must be made in advance, and refunds are available with 24 hours’ notice. For safety and comfort, it is mandatory that I meet your child before drop-in care can occur.
Venmo payment is preferred.
All children attending YHP ASC must be fully vaccinated. Proof of vaccination, along with four required forms from county licensing, must be submitted before a child can attend any of our programs.
