Before & After School

What a typical day

looks like at our Cub Care Program

Cub Care opens each morning at 6:00 AM.

Elementary-aged members meet in the schools’ cafeterias to participate in table activities and gym time. Members keep busy until it is time to be dismissed to the breakfast line or classroom.

At Custer Baker Intermediate Schools (CBIS), members meet in a classroom and play cards and board games or do jewelry crafts each morning. Staff also offer gym activity time for about a half hour before their school day starts.

During afternoon Cub Care

Members from each school report to an assigned area for the After School Program. The members start by eating a nutritious snack. Afterward, it is time for homework and reading. With program areas located in the cafeteria or gym, they are then divided into grade-appropriate activities at tables, in the gym, or on playgrounds during good weather.

During table activities, crafts are planned for the members to complete, or they can get creative with various building toys. They love to create with LEGOs, Magna-Tiles, wooden blocks, and Plus-Plus sets. There is also an opportunity for imaginative and social interaction while playing with dolls, animals, and food and table sets.

They also love to interact with cars, trains, and trucks. In the gym, they play tag games, kickball, cooperative games, and have free time to play. Their favorite activity is playing outside. The playgrounds, open fields, and basketball courts are filled with members running, playing, and laughing.
