AFTER CARE
Roots Academy provides after care for school age students K-5th grade. Our goal is to provide an after school program in which children have the opportunity to play, learn, and have fun in a positive and safe environment. Roots Academy's aftercare program recognizes the benefits of growing socially, mentally, and physically in a well rounded atmosphere. Tuition includes a snack, outdoor play, homework help, and a chance to meet friends and have fun. Roots does not provide transportation at this time - children must be dropped off to our campus.
