  • Free enrichment activities aligned with school goals
  • Up to 50% off 21st Century Kids electives!

With AfterCare Plus, children get to participate in their choice of a variety of free daily enrichment activities, targeted to a variety of children's interests, including many that are focused on science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics (STEAM): 
  • Grade-level activities aligned with school goals
  • Kid-friendly creative design (arts and crafts) projects
  • LEGO designing, building, and engineering
  • Coding, robotics, and electronics projects

  • And much, much more!

Bell families have been enrolling their children in 21st Century Kids after-school programs and summer camps for over a decade, and there are many good reasons to take advantage of the services provided by AfterCare Plus. At the top of the list, in addition to all the engaging activities, is that many AfterCare Plus parents have provided feedback that the program has improved their children's interest in studying and homework. This is largely because AfterCare Plus works with every child, every day, to develop individualized homework plans that help students manage their aftercare time, balancing after-school activities and homework responsibilities. Children approach homework responsibly while having a fun afternoon. 

For more information about AfterCare Plus, visit their website at www.aftercare.plus or call 773-761-5437. AfterCare Plus is competitively priced for Bell families, and sibling discounts are automatically applied. Drop-in days are available for occasional aftercare needs and can be purchased individually or in multi-day packs.
