Before & After School Program

Anchorage’s Trusted Program for Enrichment, Support & Convenience

Anchorage Before & After School Care

Academic Support, Enrichment & Routine

At Northern Lights Preschool & Child Care, our before and after school program is thoughtfully designed to support busy families while helping children thrive academically and socially. Each day, students participate in a blend of structured tutoring, arts-based learning, and outdoor activities—all in a secure, nurturing environment guided by certified educators.

Our program complements the school day by reinforcing academic skills, promoting creativity, and offering time for play and socialization. Healthy snacks are provided daily, and we’re happy to accommodate individual dietary needs and special requests.

Activity-Oriented Learning with a Purpose

Children learn best when they’re active, curious, and supported. That’s why our Anchorage before and after school program integrates hands-on experiences and activity-based instruction using NCTM/NCTE-aligned curriculum. Through our Eye Level Learning method, we foster foundational academic skills while inspiring a love of learning.

Daily programming includes time for:

  • Arts & Crafts
  • Homework Help & Academic Support
  • Outdoor Physical Activity
  • Music, Movement, and Free Exploration
  • Nutritious Snacks
