Howard County Public Schools: Before & After Care
Due to the changes in the Howard County, Md school start and dismissal times, finding before and aftercare for your children might be a challenge. There’s a dire need for trustworthy school care but fret not, Your Journey is here to help serve your family. Our nursery and preschool is not just a premiere preschool in Howard County, but a highly ranked before and after school care program for Howard County Public Schools!
The need for before and after care programs in Maryland and throughout the US has been on the rise in the last 10 years due to a number of factors:
More parents working outside the home, especially single parents.
There’s an increased desire for a safe and enriching environment for children after school hours.
The recognition of after school programs' role in academic achievement and social development.
Your Journey Nursery and Preschool nested right outside of Ellicott City and Columbia, MD can be your one-stop solution for before and aftercare needs. We provide a safe and nurturing environment for your kids before and after school hours, with fun activities and qualified caregivers to keep them engaged and supervised.
Here's what Your Journey Nursery and Preschool offers:
Before and After School Care: Your children can enjoy a fun and enriching environment before school starts and after it ends. This program usually starts early in the morning and extends until the evening, providing a flexible schedule for working parents.
Shuttle Service: If you're worried about pick-up and drop-off, Your Journey Nursery and Preschool offers shuttle service to and from designated schools within Howard County. Shuttle services are a huge perk, saving you time on your commute and ensuring your children get to and from school safely. We currently serve most schools located in and around Glenwood, Glenelg and Clarksville, Maryland including Lisbon Elementary School, Bushy Park Elementary School, Triadelphia Ridge Elementary School, Glenelg Country School, and Dayton Oaks Elementary. The list of Howard county schools whom we serve for before and aftercare needs are forever expanding, so please reach out to see if your school is on our route!
Benefits of Before and Aftercare Programs:
Peace of mind for parents: Knowing your children are in a safe and supervised environment before and after school can give you peace of mind while you're at work.
Socialization and development: So many children turn to screen time once they’re home from school. Our before and aftercare programs provide opportunities for children to socialize with peers, participate in enriching activities, and develop important skills.
Consistent routine: A consistent routine can help children feel more secure and adjusted, especially during periods of change, like modified school schedules.
