AfterCare Plus

About 21st Century Kids LLC

21st Century Kids LLC is a recognized leader in after-school programming. We also train educators across the United States on implementing STEAM, robotics, and technology curriculum in their schools, after-school programs, and regional robotics competitions.

With our AfterCare Plus offering, we have decided to provide many of our after-school enrichment offerings at no cost to every child. We know aftercare can be expensive, which often limits the ability of parents to be able to afford our after-school programs. We are now partnering with schools to provide a better aftercare experience, aligned with school learning objectives, at a cost competitive with lesser offerings. Give us a try and see for yourself!


The AfterCare Plus experience

AfterCare Plus provides a robust, quality after-school experience at a reasonable price. In addition, AfterCare Plus offers a variety of free enrichment activities daily to all children enrolled in the program.

Registering for AfterCare Plus is simple and convenient. Parents can register their children at any time, and cancel at any time. There are no hidden charges or fees, and prorations are applied automatically*.

* Prorations are applied based on the program start date you select. You may cancel on our website at any time prior to your next scheduled payment date, and you will incur no further charges.

Social interaction and activities

Social interaction and collaboration are important parts of the AfterCare Plus experience. We recognize that the after-school setting provides a unique opportunity for friendships to develop and grow, and for children to learn about others in a diverse setting. As such, children are provided both structured and informal opportunities to interact with and learn from others on an ongoing basis.


Creative projects and activities (arts and crafts)

Creative design projects and activities are an integral part of AfterCare Plus, and are designed to cover a range of interests. They are typically intended to be taken home after completion, to be shared with family and friends. We also support children who are using the creative arts to add a special touch to school projects and assignments, as many children enjoy personalizing their projects, and creativity can help make learning fun!


Outdoor fitness and fun time

Children benefit from outdoor play and exercise time, especially after sitting indoors for the entire school day. With AfterCare Plus, our staff monitors outdoor play periods, while organizing outdoor activities that ensure all children have the opportunity to play and participate.

When inclement weather or school events preclude the opportunity to play outside, children are encouraged to participate in indoor actvities promoting fun and fitness.


Homework help and standardized test prep

Our partnership with your child's school is truly focused on ensuring educational success for all AfterCare Plus participants. We take every child's education seriously, and we want to help children who are struggling, as well as those desiring to master advanced concepts.

Homework help is available throughout the afternoon in a quiet, supported homework area. Our staff meets with children to help develop daily homework strategies, prioritizing homework while ensuring opportunity to participate in activities of interest. Children may also participate in kid-friendly game shows and challenges that help them prepare for standardized testing.


Technology activities and access

Educational technology is an essential component of learning in the 21st century. Our staff has expertise in working with a variety of educational technologies.

Children in our program are provided with opportunity to benefit from shared technology usage in the after-school setting, and guidance to use that technology to enhance classroom learning, as well as develop new tech skills.


Healthy snack breaks

After a long day at school, a short break and a quick snack are a great way to relax and recharge before starting after-school activities. Whether enjoying a snack brought from home, provided by the school, or offered by AfterCare Plus, children are encouraged to take a few minutes to reenergize and prepare for more learning.


One website for a variety of after-school programs

To ensure that a wide variety of top-notch after-school programming is available at your school, in addition to programs offered by 21st Century Kids LLC, we will be inviting back some of your child's favorite after-school providers to continue with their elective offerings, and adding new providers that we believe will add value.

And with our easy-to-use AfterCare Plus website, it will be convenient for you to register for aftercare and all the elective offerings that will be available at your school.

There will be no need to register with multiple providers. And if you have a problem with an after-school program, we will work with the provider to resolve the issue. Or, if you deserve a refund, we will make that happen too.


Discounts on paid 21st Century Kids programs
(Save from 10% to 50% depending on enrollment)

While the majority of our popular after-school enrichment offerings are now included for free with AfterCare Plus, some of our more advanced (and resource intensive) 21st Century Kids programs are still only available a paid basis. However, your AfterCare Plus membership generally provides you discounts of 10% to 50% off our paid programs; a truly great deal!
