Frequently Asked Questions

How many licensed school-age care programs are in Fresno?
Fresno has 25 licensed programs serving school-age children (5+). This includes dedicated school-age centers, before-and-after-school programs, and family child care homes whose licenses cover this age.
What does school-age care include?
School-age programs typically offer before-school care (early-morning drop-off), after-school care (pickup from school or walk-over from nearby campuses), full-day care on non-school days, and summer camp programs. Activities usually mix homework support, enrichment (art, sports, STEM), and supervised free time.
How much does after-school care cost in Fresno?
Costs vary by schedule (before-only, after-only, or both) and whether summer/break care is bundled. Contact facilities directly for current rates.
What should I look for when choosing a school-age program?
Check the pickup logistics (does the program walk kids over from your school?), homework-help structure, summer camp availability, and outdoor/gym space. Ask about behavior policies, how staff supervises older kids with more independence, and whether the program partners with local schools for coordinated pickup.
