See an example of our daily schedule here.

Our Monday-Thursday schedule consists of snack time, meeting, project time (art, sports, etc), big group game/art/science (on Wednesdays), and indoor/outdoor free play.

Friday’s schedule consists of lunch, meeting, special event (special performance, theme day, field trip or volunteerism), snack, meeting, and indoor/outdoor free play.

Our students are mixed ages and all together in one “classroom” of approximately 45 children. They will break into smaller projects during the afternoon. We have a 5:1 to 10:1 ratio depending on the activity.

The After School Program is overseen by Lauren Bagley, who has over 11 years of experience in the classroom at Kids’ Corner in Winchester. She also was the Program Director for our KC Xtreme Middle School Summer Program for several years.

Chris Grover and Matt Clougherty, are the Co-Assistant Program Directors from Carroll School who have several years of experience at the former Carroll School After School Program.

Our additional teachers are a blend of Kids’ Corner Winchester staff and Carroll School teachers. Our staff are experienced and well qualified teachers who have diverse backgrounds and degrees in the arts, athletics, education, history, music, and theatre.

Registration for the 2026-2027 School Year opens July 27, 2026. We will close the registration August 15, 2026. This is for families looking for consistent after school care starting in September. Register here: https://schools.procareconnect.com/form/ec169138-efa6-4ade-878e-2bd8d8207bf0

If you are interested in joining our program after the beginning of school, reach out to Lauren , our Program Director (Lauren@kidscornerwinchester.org)

We appreciate a 30 day advance notice if you would like to add your child to our program. Once the form is received, we will notify you within 2 business days whether or not we have space to accommodate your child. If so, we will begin the enrollment process.

In you participated in our program most of last year, you have already been contacted via email. If you withdrew earlier in the school year, please note that we cannot guarantee a saved spot for your child, but please do fill in the form and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

All requests must be made at least 30 days prior to the first of the month. A Schedule Change Request Form must be filled out and returned to Lauren.

In order to keep within our student to teacher ratio, and the quality of care we are known for, we do not offer day of drop ins.

Our roster fills first with confirmed students and we will be offering drop-in days if there is space, but you must register 5 days in advance to ensure that we get all the enrollment forms that we need. Check back for a link for drop in days in late summer 2026!

Our program aims to have a needs-based approach for families that need childcare coverage. We also need to be mindful about our staff to student ratio on Fridays as well, and we want to make sure that we uphold the quality care that we are known for. 

Because of this, we will not be releasing our Friday program schedule publicly. We will have a mix of field trips, special performances, Service Stars and theme days. 

Please fill out this form before 1:00PM Monday - Thursday or 10:00AM on a Friday.

If your child will be absent, please notify Carroll School here AND notify Lauren (Lauren@kidscornerwinchester.org) by 1pm on Monday-Thursday and by 11am on Fridays.

The "late bus" will leave at 4:45pm Monday-Thursday and 3:30pm on Fridays.

Daily afternoon snacks are provided by the program. During early release days on Fridays, students can bring lunch packed from home.

All snacks are peanut/tree nut free and we will accommodate other allergies as needed.

Our After School Program at the Carroll School currently does not offer full day programming on non-school days. All after school members will have the option to enroll in full day programming at our Winchester location.

At Kids’ Corner, we use an integrated curriculum approach. Learning is organized around monthly themes. We’ve had themes such as Outer Space, Community, Nature, Food & Art . Learning activities are developed that tie back to these themes and concepts in engaging and creative ways. Our teachers thoughtfully connect STEAM concepts to our integrated curriculum through projects, class meetings, Big Group Science and Big Group Art.

In addition to our awesome integrated curriculum, we have a lot of wonderful monthly events and activities. Special monthly activities include field trips, in-house presentations, music and film making, cooking, community service projects, and program-wide theme days.

There are additional After School Programs offered for the Middle and Upper School that are not run by Kids’ Corner.

We do offer occasional Friday Drop-In Programming for Middle/Upper school students at our Lower Campus. Check back to see our offerings. Space is limited.
