Where Big Kids Thrive Through Creativity, Connection & Confidence
At Plateau Early Learning Center (PELC), our School-Age Program is built for curious minds and growing hearts. Whether before and after school or during school breaks, we provide a safe, exciting, and nurturing environment where children ages 5–12 can explore, create, connect, and grow.

Exciting & Active Learning Beyond the Classroom

Our school-age kids don’t just pass time—they ignite passions. With a mix of innovative, hands-on activities, we keep children engaged through science experiments, creative arts, team projects, cooking, gardening, building challenges, and more. Every activity is designed to spark interest and deepen understanding—without feeling like school.
Creative Exploration Meets Real-World Skills
Children are given the space to dream big and think critically. Whether they’re coding basic games, designing art projects, or collaborating on STEM challenges, we encourage innovative thinking and problem-solving. It’s a fun and fulfilling way to reinforce school-day learning in a relaxed, imaginative setting.
Social Growth & Self-Esteem Building
We understand how important these years are for developing a strong sense of self and social connection. Through group games, peer mentoring, and positive guidance, children build friendships, communication skills, and confidence. Our nurturing staff provides support and encouragement, helping your child feel valued, seen, and empowered.
A Safe, Supportive Environment for Every Child
Whether your child needs a place to wind down after school or dive into new adventures, PELC offers a flexible space that meets their needs. With caring adults, healthy snacks, active play, and a focus on emotional well-being, our program is a home away from home.
