The mission of the Laurel Bay and Parris Island 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 children (ages 6-12 years old) of military personnel;
DoD civilian personnel, active duty Coast Guard, reservists on active duty or
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 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.
