Click here to follow the Kid's Day Blog

The Kid's Day Therapeutic After School Program is committed to providing a safe, structured, and nurturing environment to children ages 5-13.  The program is open 2-6 p.m. during the school year and 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. during school vacations and the summer.  The program focuses on the emotional and social well being of the whole child by providing and modeling therapeutic interventions and coping skills.  Program highlights include:

• Outside time/exercise
• A healthy, nutritious snack
• A full-time social worker who provides individual and group therapy for the children
• An educational liaison who communicates with teachers/schools so that we may better meet the academic needs of the children
• Homework/literacy time incorporated as part of the daily schedule both during the school year as well as the summer
• Age appropriate activities that engage children and meet the various needs of the different ages we serve
• A sliding fee scale is offered based on family size and income

The children at Kid's Day are very excited to tell people about events that are happening at Kid's Day as well as what's on their minds.  To share their thoughts and information, they have set up their very own blog!  The writing is done entirely by the kids and so far they have blogged about topics ranging from vacations in other countries to shopping trips with Rajon Rondo.  You can read what the kids have to say and much more by visiting the blog.

The Kid's Day Program is available in Boston (Jamaica Plain) only.  For more information or to schedule an intake interview, please call Gillian Van Delft at (617) 983-5800 or e-mail her.
