S.T.A.R. Program

Westwood Charter School is fortunate to have a safe, caring, and age-appropriate S.T.A.R. childcare program on site. The children participating in S.T.A.R. are clustered by grade level and are provided with a variety of age-appropriate activities including arts and crafts, day trips, music, and reading, as well as other indoor and outdoor activities. The children in S.T.A.R. have access to both our supervised playground and the well-maintained S.T.A.R. bungalow.

S.T.A.R. also provides a supervised Homework Room where children can complete their homework before participating in after-school activities.

Children in the S.T.A.R. program have an opportunity to make new friends and learn new skills. Parents who enroll their children in S.T.A.R. feel confident that their children are receiving quality childcare benefits in a safe and caring environment.
