School Age Preschool and Daycare in Columbus, Delaware and Sunbury, Ohio

Designed for the dynamic, ever-changing needs of today’s active children, our school-age program emphasizes a safe, organized, and supervised environment responsive to the interests and developmental needs of your child.

Little Buckeye Learning Center is excited to accept school-aged children from kindergarten through twelve years of age. Our program is designed to be both developmentally appropriate and fun. School-age children are ready to be further challenged educationally and are ready to take the next steps in their physical, social, and emotional development. But they also need time for fun and relaxation.

Not only do we provide an amazing educational and developmental curriculum for these children, but we also provide activities that are solely dedicated to having a blast…like our exciting weekly field trips during our summer program or our fun themes and activities expressly designed to be exciting for the school aged child. During school holidays and summer months, we offer a full-day schedule rich in hands-on activities and exciting field trips!

PLEASE NOTE: We currently do not provide the school age program at our Delaware location.


Research Tells Us That…

Children’s brains develop best when they have active experiences in:

  • Critical thinking
  • Movement
  • Language development
  • Relationship building (social-emotional experiences)
  • Sensory exploration

We know your child needs a break after a long day of school, so these activities don’t even feel like learning – they are all about fun experiences! We also encourage children to take an active role in shaping their experience at Little Buckeye Learning Center— from putting on a class play to forming up clubs to helping design their classroom space. We want your child to feel comfortable and welcome in our engaging after-school environment.
