Education Station Before and After School Program

Education Station Before and After School is our new program for children ages 5 thru 8 who attend our local elementary schools in kindergarten thru 2nd grade. We offer a quality curriculum in a predictable schedule so your children are comfortable and thriving in a learning environment during those difficult-to-schedule hours before and after school. We are one of the few before and after school programs accepting half-day kindergarten students as well. We have confirmed with the school district to provide transportation between the following schools and our downtown Olympia center: Lincoln, Pioneer, Madison and Roosevelt.

Please feel free to contact us with questions or for more information.

$360/month for children in full-day school.
$575/month for children in half-day kindergarten.
