School Age Services

Eliada’s School Age Services maintain a 5 STAR license by the State of NC Department of Health and Human Resources Division of Child Development. Our program provides a safe place for children and pre-teens to spend their afternoon while working families are finishing out their day. With a staff made up of a Director, School Age Program Manager, and credentialed Teachers, children are provided a safe, happy, healthy and productive environment. In addition, Eliada’s open door policy encourages parents to drop in at any time during our regular hours of operation.

School-Age features the following components to ensure quality care for your children

• Hours are from 2:30 to 5:30 every afternoon, Monday through Friday, with nutritious afternoon snacks served daily. Hours on Snow Days and Teacher Work Days are: 7:00am to 5:30pm (weather permitting).
