After School Programs in Minneapolis for Growing Minds
Safe, Supportive, and Educational After School Care
At Hooyo Child Care Center, our after school program provides a safe and enriching environment for children ages 5 to 12. We know that the hours after school are important for academic reinforcement, social development, and creative exploration.
Our team is dedicated to making those hours count with fun, structured activities and reliable care that working parents can trust.
Infant Care (6 weeks – 18 months)
Gentle, safe environments focused on early bonding, sensory exploration, and communication development.
Toddler Program (18 months – 3 years)
Encouraging curiosity, motor skills, independence, and bilingual language acquisition.
Preschool Program (3 – 5 years)
Preparing young learners for kindergarten with structured play, early literacy, math concepts, and social development.
Academic Support and Homework Assistance
Our after school program includes daily homework help so students stay on track academically.
We offer:
- Quiet spaces for focused study
- Bilingual assistance in English and Spanish
- Staff guidance to promote independent work habits
By completing assignments before heading home, children have more quality family time in the evenings.
Enrichment Activities and Skill Building
Beyond homework, students participate in a range of hands-on enrichment activities:
- STEM projects that encourage critical thinking
- Art and crafts for creativity and fine motor development
- Team sports and outdoor games for physical health
- Reading circles to foster a love of books in both languages
- Leadership and teamwork exercises to promote personal growth
Every day at Hooyo is a balanced blend of learning, creativity, and fun.
