Do your school-age children arrive tired, restless, bored, or completely done with “school” for the day? Are you struggling to keep them engaged without turning your program into another classroom?

This practical and engaging training is designed specifically for family child care providers caring for school-age children in mixed-age settings. Discover how to create meaningful experiences that feel fun, manageable, and low-stress—without worksheets, rigid lessons, or hours of extra planning.

During this interactive session, participants will explore:

• Ways to engage school-age children through everyday routines and play
• How to extend the curriculum you already use with younger children
• Strategies for mixed-age learning and participation
• Activities that build independence, responsibility, problem-solving, and life skills
• Realistic ideas you can use immediately in your program

Leave with practical strategies, fresh ideas, and activities that make after-school time smoother, more engaging, and more enjoyable for everyone.
