After School Program

Juniperhaven’s After School Program in Bend, Oregon

Our after school care program offers a fun, relaxed, and supportive environment for children in grades K–5. We know that after a full day of learning, kids need space to unwind, move, and connect. Juniperhaven’s program is designed to offer a balance of structure and freedom, keeping children engaged while giving them choice and autonomy.

Enriching Afternoons for School-Age Children

Our after-school care is a time for kids to unwind from their time at school.  They get their wiggles out by playing outside, fill-up their tummies with a snack and then at choice time get to choose between varies activities such as legos, dramatic play, a maker’s space (open ended art area), monitored tv-time, reading, nature hikes and so much more.  Your kiddo will love Wednesdays; we walk to 711 and get slurpees and then take the van to the park.  It’s their favorite day.

After-school care is offered Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 3 to 6 pm, and on Wednesdays from 1 to 6 pm. We offer bus pick-up from Ponderosa and can also arrange pick-up at Bear Creek and Pine Ridge depending on availability. While our program includes exciting field trips, full-day care on school holidays is not included during the regular school year. Families who are not enrolled full or part time can still take advantage of our flexible drop-in care.

Our summer program is packed with adventure, including regular field trips, pool days, nature hikes, and plenty of outdoor play. We offer both full-time and part-time summer care, with options for two or three days per week to fit your family’s schedule.

Our Summer is full of pool days, hikes and outdoor activities.
