The mission of Discovery Club is to provide out-of-school-time child care in a safe, fun, caring environment that supports children's learning and development.

Children participate in a wide variety of academic enrichment, recreational and cultural activities that informally support learning and social development.  Additionally, Discovery Club staff connect with school-day teachers to better support children's learning. 

Discovery Club at Crossroads offers different components to meet the needs of the families we serve.  A child may be enrolled in any combination of components listed below.

Before School:  from 6:30 a.m. to the start of the school day at 9 a.m.  This is an informal time of self directed and structured activities.  Gym games are also offered each morning.

Extended Day (for Pre-Kindergarten):  extends the student's half day of school to a full day.  Students attend school in the morning and Discovery Club from 11:45 a.m.-3:40
