Before & After-School Programs
We understand that every household has its own unique schedule. Many adults start work before school begins and finish their shifts long after the school day ends. Our before and after-school programs are designed to ensure no child is left home alone during these times. We provide hardworking families with peace of mind, knowing their children have a safe and supportive environment. Wake Harvest is proud to partner with families to foster youth development and provide a sense of community.

Why Choose Wake Harvest?
Wake Harvest stands out as a truly unique before and after-school program. We prioritize social-emotional growth and the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of every child. Unlike many programs that stop accepting participants at age 12, we proudly welcome teenagers. We believe the teenage years are a critical time for guidance and growth, and we’re committed to meeting that challenge.
At Wake Harvest, your child will be encouraged to explore their imagination, creativity, communication skills, and more. Established in January 2019, Wake Harvest is a youth mentorship and development organization dedicated to teaching life skills in a fun, safe environment. Our programs cover essential topics such as emotional regulation, problem-solving, self-esteem building, and empowering children and teens to thrive.
What Makes Us Different?
Bully-Free Environment
Many families have chosen Wake Harvest after their children experienced unresolved bullying in other settings. At Wake Harvest, we are proud to be a bully-free zone. While instances of bullying may arise, we address them directly, working with the children involved to resolve conflicts and guide them toward positive behaviors. Parents and guardians often notice significant improvements in their children through the support and guidance provided by our programs.
A Clubhouse Full of Fun
Our Clubhouse is designed for endless fun and engagement! It features air hockey, foosball, ping pong, a variety of games, a library full of books, a volleyball court, a gaga ball pit, a basketball hoop, and a playground—ensuring there's something for everyone to enjoy.
Flexible Care Options
In addition to teaching life skills and focusing on social-emotional development, Wake Harvest provides care on teacher workdays and select holidays, offering convenience and support for busy families.
