Our program
Structure first, then let them run
Kids arrive from school hungry and wound up, so the order matters. Snack, then a 45 minute homework block with staff circulating to help, then activity choice until pickup. Staff are background checked and trained in CPR and first aid, and our vans are inspected on a set schedule.
•Background checked staff, CPR and first aid certified
•Homework block with adults who actually sit down and help
•Text notification when your child is checked in from the bus or van

FAQ
Parent questions
Which schools do you pick up from?
We run vans to eleven elementary schools across Kettering, Centerville, Oakwood and Beavercreek. Call with your school name and we will confirm whether it is on a current route and what time the van arrives.
What happens if I am late for the 6pm pickup?
Call us, we would rather know. Late pickup is billed at $1 per minute after 6:10pm, which exists to protect staff going home rather than to make money. Repeated lateness gets a conversation, not a penalty spiral.
Will someone actually help with homework?
Yes. The homework block is 45 minutes with staff circulating, and we sign a daily sheet telling you what got finished and what did not. We do not do the work for them, and we will flag when something looks consistently too hard.
Is snack included and what about allergies?
Snack is included daily. The building is nut free and we keep documented allergy plans for every child who needs one, posted in the kitchen and reviewed with staff each term.
