Learn Through Discovery 

We are not your traditional before and after school care. At Red Wagon Learning Center, our mission is to inspire, educate, and instill lifelong learning during the before and after school hours.  We do this by providing a safe and nurturing environment for school age children while also challenging each child according to their interests and abilities, and developing self esteem and creative avenues for self expression, education and socialization. 

The Red Wagon

Why The Red Wagon Learning Center? 

Traditional before and after school programs offer a safe place for children to hang out until school starts or parents arrive. We believe this is a missed opportunity and the genesis of Red Wagon’s unique approach to before and after school care.

We believe children learn through discovery. Our propreitary curriculm encourages imagination through structured play and activities, all uniquely designed to inspire creativity, exploration and positivity.

Our program focuses on three areas that build life skills and foundational leanring:  the Chef’s Club, activites that introduce basic culinary skills;  STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), challenging play that sparks critical thinking; and the Art Studio, where we literally unleash creativity.

All of our programs – before school only, after only, before and after or full day camps – feature the Discovery Experience.

What Our Families are Saying

We have so many positive points to share about Red Wagon, it is hard to know where to begin. Red Wagon is a top notch program, be it for before/after school care, school breaks or summer camp, or facilitated virtual learning in these unusual times. Red Wagon is a community, where the teachers truly know and care about the children. We also love the extracurricular programs such as STEM and Chef’s Club. As working parents, we do not know how we would manage without the Red Wagon team! - Marisa & Brian
