It's 3:15 PM, and you're in the middle of an important work assignment. Instead of checking your phone every two minutes, worried about where your child is, you're fully present. Why? Because you know exactly where they are — at Neighborhood House, where learning, growth, and fun are part of the program.
Peace of Mind While You Work
Let's be honest — juggling work and family commitments can be overwhelming. Our Afterschool Program gives you peace of mind. You know your child is in good hands, developing skills and friendships in a safe space designed just for them. That job deadline or client call? Go ahead and give it your full attention. We're here to ensure that every afterschool hour is filled with purpose and play, not just supervision.
Homework Help Before They Get Home
Ready to put those frustrating homework struggles in the rearview mirror? We're here to help with that. Our experienced staff provides guidance and support as children work through assignments, offering assistance with those tricky math problems and confusing writing prompts. We give kids the encouragement and support they need to make progress. Your evenings should be less stressful, with fewer fraction fights and essay emergencies and more quality family time.
Growth Beyond Academics
If we’ve heard it once, we’ve heard it a thousand times: My son used to be so shy. Now he's leading group activities and making friends everywhere he goes. At Neighborhood House, we see the quiet victories that don't show up on report cards — the confidence to speak up, the kindness shown to a new student, the persistence when facing a challenge. These are the moments that make us smile, and will make you proud.
Active Learning After the Bell
Kids immersed in science experiments, creating art, playing sports, learning an instrument, discovering new passions — all while you're at work? Yes, please! Our activities keep children engaged and excited, turning their out-of-school hours into something they look forward to. Don't be surprised when they ask to stay just a little longer when you arrive for pickup.
Flexible Support for Busy Schedules
When a meeting goes long or traffic slows you down, we get it. Real life doesn't check your schedule before throwing a curveball. Our convenient hours and location in the heart of Southbridge make the logistics of being a working parent more manageable. We're more than a childcare solution for busy moms and dads. We’re your partner in making family life work, especially when your day doesn't go according to plan.
A Team That Understands Your Needs
Behind every Neighborhood House program is a team that understands what families need. Many of us are parents too, navigating the same challenges you face. We see you, we get it, and we're here to help your family thrive — not just survive — during the busy weekday hours.
Whether you're a single parent burning the candle at both ends, a dual-income household coordinating crazy schedules, or any family seeking quality care and enrichment for your children, our message is simple: We're here for you and your kids.
