The Guard Up! Wizards & Warriors After School Program is like none other. Our young heroes create their own character and play that character throughout the week in our ever changing plot line… they fight monsters, solve puzzles, find treasure, and save the realm side-by-side with their fellow adventurers!

Our After School Program is exciting, safe and fun for kids who love swords, myth and adventure.  Here are the Top 10 Reasons why parents choose us for their After School Program:

1. Our programs aren’t just fun, they are educational.  In “Potion Making Class” kids learn about Chemistry.  Our scrolls and spells are in Latin – and our staff help the kids decypher them.  All of the monsters and creatures the kids interact with are from real world mythology… encouraging them to learn about other cultures so that they can improve their interaction.
2. Our Heroes only get to join the Adventure after their homework is done!  Talk about motivation… and our staff are available to provide assistance to those who need it.
3. Our program is licensed by the state of Massachusetts and all of our staff are CPR and First Aid Certified and have passed intensive CORI/SORI background checks.
4. We provide full and half day coverage during scheduled school closings as well as Winter and Spring Break.  No more hunting around for sitters or other programs that fit your schedule.
5. Our ongoing plot line never repeats… so kids stay interested in the program throughout the year.  And since the kids who attend our After School Program also love the same kinds of activities, they make new friends.
6. Our Hero Van provides transportation from the school to our facility – and we always have at least 2 staff in the Van and on location.
7. We offer pick up as late as 6pm!
8. Our 7500 square foot facility is climate controlled (important for those hot June and September days)
9. Our staff are highly trained in child care and in creating a safe, fun and educational environment for your children.
10. Where else can your child be a hero on a daily basis?!
