Reliable Before And After School Care In Newport News

Finding dependable care before and after the school day can be challenging for busy families.

As a preschool and childhood development center, we believe care should continue beyond the classroom. Our whole child approach supports children’s social-emotional development, faith, creativity, physical well-being and personal growth. Rather than simply providing supervision, we create opportunities for children to build relationships, explore their interests and continue learning in a supportive environment.

How Our Before And After School Care Program Works

Resurrection Lutheran School makes before and after school care simple and convenient for families with busy schedules.

Our program provides:

  • Before school care in the morning
  • After school care in the afternoon
  • Transportation support through local school bus routes
  • A safe transition between the school day and childcare
  • Consistent care throughout the year

Before school, children have a welcoming space to start their day with activities, conversation and time to prepare for school. After dismissal, students return to Resurrection Lutheran School where they can unwind, connect with friends and participate in activities designed for their age group.

Our year-round before and after school care program provides reliable care for families who need consistency beyond the traditional school calendar. We remain open throughout the year with limited closures for holidays and religious observances, helping families maintain dependable routines.

More Than Just Before And After School School Supervision

We understand that school-age children need more than a place to wait until their parents arrive. Our before and after school care program encourages curiosity, creativity and continued growth through purposeful activities.

Children may participate in:

Homework Support

Our team provides time and support for children to work on homework assignments, helping families make evenings more manageable. While parents remain an important part of their child’s education, having a dedicated time and space for homework can help children develop responsibility and good study habits.

Children are encouraged to use their imagination through hands-on activities, crafts, games and projects that encourage problem-solving and creativity while developing confidence and independence.

Physical activity is an important part of a child’s overall well-being. Students have opportunities to enjoy outdoor play in our secure outdoor spaces, featuring:

  • Large playground areas
  • State-of-the-art playground equipment
  • Covered pavilion space
  • Multiple shaded areas
  • Safe, fenced play environments

In fact, the CDC says that children who are able to enjoy physical activities before and after school often see an improvement in their grades and test scores.
