Because life doesn't always stop at 5 o'clock! The holiday season is here, and we know many parents are taking on extra hours or seasonal work. Academy of Learning and Early Care proudly offers FlexCare Nights & Weekend Care — a safe, flexible, and fun option for families needing care beyond traditional hours.
🕓 Flexible Hours That Work for Your Family
Weekday Evening Care

Perfect for parents working late shifts, attending evening events, or simply needing a well-deserved date night. Our caring staff provides structured activities and meals while maintaining your child's routine.
Weekend Care
