Charlotte Street Kids

Kids work hard at school, and their days are super structured. After six solid hours of staying on task, they need time for old-fashioned, unstructured play. It's our goal at CSK to give kids that essential freedom. For a good portion of every afternoon, we let them take the lead with self-directed activities--on their own or in a group--while we facilitate and supervise.

As much as the weather allows, we're across the street from our St. Mary's site at the park having fresh air fun--rolling down hills, throwing a football, playing tag, and more. Onsite, we're busy with high-quality art supplies, Kaplas, Legos, classic toys and board games, and a growing library.

We love to see kids explore, invent, create, compromise, collaborate, and make friends--all of their own initiative!

We also understand that the last thing you want to do at night is start a homework battle, so there's quiet time for school assignments. We check homework progress and provide help where needed.

Finally, our day includes a nutritious snack that kids help prepare.
