Sun ‘N Fun Program
Sun ‘N Fun is a state licensed drop-in program offering before and after- school child care services to students in kindergarten through the sixth grade. The Sun 'n Fun programs are committed to lifelong learning, cultural unity, personal growth and wellness. At the same time, this program affords parents the peace of mind associated with knowing their children are receiving experienced, competent child care services.

To best serve the needs of all children, Sun ‘N Fun is located on campus at five elementary schools within the City. (See the Sun ‘N Fun FAQs for specific locations and hours of operation.) Each site is staffed at a low one-to-fourteen teacher/student ratio. The daily curriculum includes a variety of developmentally appropriate indoor and outdoor activities and experiences, homework assistance, nutritional mid-morning and afternoon snacks, and group times. (Lunch is not provided) Enrollment is on a first-come/first-serve basis and is limited by state licensing capacity mandates.
