A Place to Learn, Play & Grow!
At RAS, we believe before and after school should be meaningful extensions of the school day — not just afterthoughts. While many programs offer a safe place to play, RAS goes further by combining high-quality academic enrichment, active play, and social skill-building — all wrapped in the fun and energy kids love.

Your Kids at Right Club!
Kids spend up to 20 hours a week in our programs—let us walk you through all the ways your child will learn, play and grow in a typical day with RAS. See a more detailed version of the daily schedule here.
Check-in & Attendance
We start by taking attendance and making sure that every child on the roster for that day is accounted for. A team member will lead the kids in a quick warm-up game while we wait for everyone to arrive.
Town Hall & Snack
We start every afternoon with a Town Hall, where we get kids excited about the activities ahead, do a community-building activity, celebrate birthdays, and shout out students for big wins (like Sammy acing his spelling test!)… all while enjoying a healthy snack!
Right Moves
We run, jump, stretch, and dance to “get the wiggles out” before putting our brains to work!
Language Adventures
All RAS kiddos will spend ten minutes each day learning a second language. PreK–First Graders will learn the Spanish words for shapes, colors, numbers, and more, while our older students will learn American Sign Language (ASL)!
Homework Time
Each day, we help kids finish their homework… so you can reclaim the weeknight for family fun! Our educators split kids into similar age groups, foster a calm environment, and provide one-on-one support when kids need help.
Disguised Learning™
Shhhh! Don’t tell the kids they’re learning! Our hands-on enrichment activities range from silly science experiments to feats of toothpick engineering, globe-trotting adventures, songwriting competitions, and beyond. Hidden in each Disguised Learning activity is a deeply thoughtful lesson plan with learning objectives tied to state and national standards… but kids just know that they’re having a blast!
Play Right Fitness
Red rover, red rover, send Elsa right over! In the gym, on the playground, rain or shine, we’ll get our muscles moving to classic schoolyard games or sports like kickball and soccer.
Self-Directed Inquiry
We end every day with options! Board games, arts and crafts, collaborative group projects, quiet reading, free play with friends, and more.
Pick-up Time
All the best days come to a close. We hope that by the time you arrive, you’ll have a happy, engaged, perhaps even tuckered out kiddo to enjoy a relaxing evening at home as a family.

Your Child’s Safety Is Our Top Priority
As parents, we know that decisions about our children’s care and safety should never be taken lightly — and it’s our job to be transparent about how we’re keeping your kids safe. Here are just a few of our non-negotiable safety practices:
Licensed in the state of Missouri
Every RAS program is formally licensed by the State and routinely inspected to ensure we’re meeting all licensing requirements, including staff-to-student ratios as well as staff credentials and certifications.
Thoroughly Qualified Staff
All RAS staff members are subject to thorough state and federal background checks. They are also certified in CPR and first aid, meet or exceed state-required education, experience, and credentials, and undergo a comprehensive training program.
Pin Code Verification
After signing up for programs, you (and the people you designate as authorized pickups) will be issued a unique PIN code, which must be presented every time you drop off or pick up your child — no exceptions.
Check-in & Attendance
Each day, RAS staff will have an up-to-date roster of children expected in the program. We start taking attendance right after the school bell rings. If a child on the roster doesn’t check in within 10 minutes, we immediately initiate our rapid “missing child” protocol, which involves calling you, your emergency contacts, the school office, and ultimately the police if we cannot determine your child’s whereabouts.
Name to Face Transitions
Any time we transition from one space to another (for example, a classroom to the playground), we take attendance again, ensuring that our educators hear and see every child assigned to their group that day.
Regular Joy & Safety Audits
At least once per month, a RAS Area Manager will visit each program site to conduct a “Joy and Safety Audit” — our internal quality control evaluation to ensure staff are 100% in compliance with our policies and are delivering the most enjoyable, enriching experience for your kids.
For a complete overview of our program policies and procedures, please check out our Family Handbook.
