Licensed #259024 · EXCELS Level 3 · CCS Accepted · From $210/week
School-age childcare covers the hours before and after the school day — the hours when most parents are working.
If your child's school day starts at 8:00 AM but you need to be at work by 7:00, or if dismissal is at 3:00 but you work until 5:30, school-age childcare fills that gap.
At Insight Kidz Care, we combine before and after school care with homework support, enrichment activities, and optional school pickup transportation — all in one reliable, licensed program.
What School-Age Children Get at Insight Kidz Care
A structured, reliable program designed for working families in Baltimore 21206.
How Our School-Age Program Works
Four key components that cover your child's day from morning drop-off to evening pickup.
Before School Care (6:30 AM – School Start)
We open at 6:30 AM Monday through Friday, giving working parents a reliable drop-off option before the school day begins. Children enjoy a calm morning start with breakfast, quiet activities, and structured free time before heading to school.
After School Pickup & Transport
We offer private school pickup that may be available on approved nearby routes and transport children directly to our facility in the 21206 area. Parents do not have to leave work early. We handle the pickup so you can stay focused on your day.
Homework Support & Study Time
After school, children settle in with a snack, then move into homework time. Our provider offers support and guidance to help children complete assignments accurately. After homework, children enjoy enrichment activities, creative play, and group games.
Enrichment & Creative Activities
Once homework is done, children participate in arts, crafts, STEM activities, group games, and free play. Our program is designed to be more than babysitting — it is purposeful care that supports your child's development.
School-Age Childcare with Transportation
Transportation may be available from select nearby Baltimore schools, including Baltimore International Academy, Woodhome Elementary/Middle School, Glenmount Elementary/Middle School, and other nearby Northeast Baltimore elementary and middle schools. After pickup, your child transitions into our structured after school program with homework support and enrichment activities. Availability depends on school schedule, route timing, driver and staff availability, enrollment, open vehicle seats, and current operational capacity.
