Before and After School Program

Working parents, or, parents with a need for child care before and after school, will find Children's Haven Before and After School child care program a welcome relief. It isn't easy to find a quality program for school age children with varying needs. Children's Haven offers just such a program. If needed, we also can include transportation to and from school.

Children's Haven is conveniently located in the Southwest Denver County and Southern Jefferson County area. Many area schools are serviced by our passenger vans and mini-bus equipped with all the safety equipment required by the State of Colorado. (Please check with our directors for local area schools serviced). In addition, our center is secured by key-pad entry. No one can enter our center unless knowledgeable of entry code or allowed to enter by our staff.

The program is well designed and offers a number of activities for both the before and after school experience. There are different programs offered to children in the early morning versus the late afternoon and our staff is experienced to know this difference. In the morning, children need not be challenged with learning requirements. This is left up to the school. After school, children need to wind down from the rigors of learning. Our staff is able to determine the various activities to wind down. In some cases, there is a need to provide study time. Study time will only be utilized with the consent of the parents.

Activities and programs include:

  • Transportation to and from schools (check with the directors as to what area schools are serviced; there is also an additional fee for transportation)
  • Transportation for half days are also available (check with the directors)
  • Many local area schools are included in our service area. Others may be considered if the demand is great.
  • Full breakfast before school, if desired (Incidentally, meals are home-cooked in our own kitchen; click on the "Food Program" for a sample of our menu)
  • Snacks are available upon return from school
  • Free time on a large well-equipped playground
  • Indoor games
  • Homework time will be provided for both before and after school for those in need and with parent permission
  • Movie day offered each week
  • Full day care is also available on those days when school is not in session (see directors for cost)
  • And much, much, more

Summer Camp

Summertime is an important time for children. School is out and children need a break from the rigid structure of school, the regimen of class-work and the diligence of home work. It is a time to take a break.
