About the Provider
The Franklin School Age Child Development Center is located at 614 11th Street in a historic residential neighborhood in beautiful, scenic Franklin, PA. Our after school program has been serving children in our community for 15 years. We provide quality after school programming to children ages Kindergarten though 8th grade. We provide transportation from 8 schools in the Valley Grove and Franklin School Districts. Our after school program offers an extension to the school day, without being "school after school". We collaborate with the school teachers to enhance and enrich the understanding of the current curriculum that the child is learning each day. Children are also provided with opportunities to participate in activities that will help them gain new skills and experiences.
