Set Your Kid Up for Success
with Parent-Approved Programs
Each day is full of hands-on activities that encourage problem-solving and collaboration. The best part? Kids who take part in our Disguised Learning™ have so much fun, they don’t realize they’re learning and building critical STEAM, social, and life skills!
Each day, we start off with homework time.
Our educators group kids into age-appropriate homework pods and help everyone complete assignments on time.
Then, we move on to the day’s activities – games, crafts, experiments, and more! Your kiddo will come home full of stories about wacky adventures and making new friends.
Check out our ‘Day in the Life’ page for a detailed look at our program schedule!

Parents Love RAS Too!
You’ll have peace of mind knowing our kids are with well-trained, caring educators while you have free time in the AM & PM to focus on your to-do’s. Here’s what a few of our RAS parents have to say about our programs:
Right At School has been such a positive experience for our family! Every day my son shares something about his day, when asked which part of his day made him feel happy he talks about the before and after care program! He absolutely loves attending both before and after care. This makes his working parents feel so relieved knowing his day starts and finishes on such a positive note!
— Mindy D. (Chicago, IL)
Right at School provides a fun, structured, and safe, after school care option for my child. I'm so thankful knowing my child is being well taken care of, can stay in a familiar environment, be active, and receive homework help. I can not emphasize enough the drastic difference between Right at School and a daycare center. I am very pleased with the program.
— Kelsey B. (Pullayup, WA)
My son says Right At School is his favorite time of the day. He loves playing after school with his friends and I like that he does not have to ride a bus/leave his campus for after school care. It is much safer for him to stay Right At School until I can pick him up.
— Samantha K. (Victoria, TX)
Our daughter loves Right at School. She has the opportunity to complete her homework with regularity, and gets to play with her friends for more time than she has during the school day. What's not to like?
— John S. (Lynbrook, NY)
The Right At School staff are so fun! My daughter is full of smiles at every pick-up and is excited to go. The staff help with her homework and provide fun activities to keep her busy and engaged in learning and social skills.
— Jodi S. (Chicago, IL)
My children love Right At School! As a mother, I appreciate and find relief in the fact that they are in caring hands. An added bonus is the additional academic support they provide. Right at School staff does a good job of balancing learning and fun.
— Kelli W. (Cleveland, OH)
Right At School is my daughter's favorite part of the day. It's the right mix of physical activity/movement, building friends and community at school (beyond the classroom), creativity and special projects/learning. My daughter has specifically repeated that I pick her up after her brother (at another school) so that she can stay longer. This is coming from a kid that used to always want to be picked up early – amazing!!!
— Amanda B. (Encinitas, CA)
I know my daughter is in excellent care with Right at School. They are able to nurture her needs while also understanding when she needs to be independent. So glad we have this option! It's been a huge help for us all.
— Amy S. (Fulton, GA)
