And Full Time During Summer
School Age Care in Layton, UT | Before and After School | Ages 5 to 12
A Place to Belong, Explore & Grow
Our school-age program gives children ages 5–12 a space of their own. Before and after school, some children want to relax and visit with friends, while others are ready to build, create, read, play games, or explore something new. We provide choices and follow children’s interests, focusing on building relationships and encouraging friendships. This is a place where children feel connected, valued, and excited to spend time with friends.
Part-time and full-time care options are available, including before- and after-school care and full-day summer coverage.
Time and Space for Homework
We provide a comfortable space and time to work on homework, and children decide whether to complete their assignments while they’re with us or wait until they get home. We recognize that children have different needs after a busy school day, so we encourage a balance of relaxation, play, friendships, and learning.
STEM Activities Build Real Skills
School-age children are ready for more complex challenges. Our STEM programming gives them hands-on opportunities to think like scientists and engineers through experiments, building projects, coding activities, and tech exploration. These experiences strengthen critical thinking, problem-solving, and creative confidence.
What kinds of STEM activities do school-age children do at Kid's First?
Science experiments that teach hypothesis, observation, and evidence-based conclusions
Engineering and building challenges using a variety of materials
Technology exploration and basic coding concepts
Math games and puzzles that reinforce classroom learning in a fun context
Field Trips Expand Their World
Our School Age program includes regular educational field trips to local businesses, community organizations, animal facilities, and cultural destinations. These trips deepen your child’s understanding of the world around them, expose them to career possibilities, and give them wonderful memories.
Summer Camp Keeps Learning Alive
Our summer program is one of the most popular things we offer. When school is out, camp keeps your child engaged, active, and learning through a rotating series of themed weeks packed with activities, enrichment, and field trips.
Space To Move Outdoors & Connect With Nature
School-age children need to move after a day of sitting in a classroom. Our outdoor space gives them room to run, climb, dig, and decompress in a natural setting. After-school nature-based activities have been shown to reduce stress, improve focus, and support children’s emotional regulation heading into the evening.
