Supporting the Relocation, Travel, and Lifestyle Needs of the American Military Family

The mission of the Laurel Bay School-Age Care, Youth and Teen program is to inspire and enable all young people to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring individuals. Our goal is to provide an affordable, safe place to learn and grow, ongoing relationships with caring, adult professionals, and offer life-enhancing programs that promote character development.

We offer a comprehensive composite of diverse activities contributing to the well-being of school-age care children (ages 6-12 years old), youth (ages 9-12 years old), and teens (ages 13-18 years old) of military personnel; DoD civilian personnel, active duty Coast Guard, reservists on active duty or during inactive duty for training, and DoD contract personnel who are performing mission related duty on the installations. Retirees may be eligible when a waiting list does not exist and space is available.

All activities shall be diverse, engaging, and appealing to youth and teens from different backgrounds to help develop their strengths and competencies.   The School-age care program works on a project based theme curricula. Your child will be doing many fun and exciting projects.
