First Grade and Older

We offer an extensive school-age program for before and after school with planned activities to keep them busy with age appropriate groupings of ages 5 to 7 (School-Age 1) and 8 to 12 year olds (School-Age 2).

Young Years offers a variety of activities each afternoon, such as arts & crafts, computers for play and reference, Playstations, other video-type games, indoor basketball, indoor volleyball, indoor/ outdoor hockey, Wii & Xbox consoles and games, Dance, Dance Revolution dance pads, Foosball tables, a grass field for outdoor sports, and much more.

Young Years also offers a Homework Assistance Program. The "Homework Room" is in an area that is quiet and away from the general distractions of the main school age activities. There is no charge for this program.

Transportation

Young Years has four full-size school buses, which we use for after school pick up and field trips. Each bus is equipped with heating and air conditioning. All of our drivers maintain CDL driver's licenses.

Children who attend South Highlands Magnet and Caddo Middle Magnet ride a Caddo Parish school bus from school to the Young Years campus.

The following Caddo Parish buses service the area around Young Years:
