Some of the information below may change. Please visit the Right At School website for the most recent and accurate information.

The Right Club is after school every day that school is in session for a full day. Services begin when the school bell rings and continue until 6 PM. Parents can choose as many days as they’d like for their children to attend and can change your schedule if needed.

Town Hall Meeting (~15 minutes) – At the school bell, children will gather in their after-school meeting location, where the educators will take attendance and serve a healthy snack. The day is then kicked-off with a Town Hall Meeting, where students will share news and special events, and the educators will set the schedule and expectations for the day.

The Right Moves (~10 minutes) – After a long school day, kids need to let out their energy. They’ll spend ten minutes dancing, doing yoga stretches, or team games; just enough time to get out their “wiggles” and refocus their energy on homework.

Homework Time (~45 minutes) – The onsite educators provide a quiet and supervised environment for students to work on their homework. If students complete their homework early, they will have quiet activities to choose. Students may choose to lengthen their homework time block if additional time is needed.

Daily Double/Enrichment (~45 minutes) – Kids will participate in fun, enrichment-based activities, such as arts and crafts, science experiments, drama, etc. Enrichment unit topics, such as “Energy Explosion,” “Imagination Exploration,” and “The Best We Can Be,” change every two weeks.

Fun Fitness (~30 minutes) – Students may be outside on the playground, or inside playing kickball or making up a dance routine. Either way, making time for daily movement and learning sportsmanship is an integral part of each day.

Free Play (~30 minutes) – Kids need time for self-navigation and free play! Right At School provides an ample supply of arts and crafts supplies, board games, card games, chess sets, and sports equipment available for kids to stretch their creative muscles!

Right At School will provide a healthy, nut-free snack every day. Children are welcome to bring their own snacks from home if they prefer (please make sure they are nut-free). Some examples of snacks are fresh fruit (like apples, bananas, and oranges) fruit cups in 100% juice, whole grain crackers, granola bars, raisins and fresh items like yogurt, cheese, and hummus (when refrigeration is available).

Yes! Right At School will provide care on half days (at each school) and during breaks. Pending approval of the space by principals and District, break days are likely to be held at Penn Valley and Belmont Hills elementary schools. Half-days are included with after-school enrollment, even if they occur on a day when the child doesn’t usually attend. There is a $40/day fee for full days. Parents can sign-up for the specific days they need.

As long as there is sufficient space at the school site, Right At School plans to offer drop-ins at a flat fee of $50 per child per day. Parents would have to register online or via phone by noon the day of for after-school and the day prior for before-school. They also hope to offer 10-day drop-in punch card for $450. Right At School will let families know prior to the start of the school year if these options will be available.

Right At School prides itself on hiring amazing educators and preparing them with top-notch training. All staff have significant childcare experience and a passion for working with children. All staff meet and/or exceed Pennsylvania state licensing requirements.

Right At School meets all requirements of the State of Pennsylvania and LMSD for fingerprinting and background checks. This includes Pennsylvania Criminal Background and Child Abuse Clearances, and FBI Clearance through the Cogent System to ensure that all staff are fully cleared to work with children.

Appropriate supervision is maintained at all times. Right At School’s average staff ratio will be 1:10, with no program conducted with a staff ratio exceeding 1:12.

Right At School uses a best-in-class blended learning training model. Staff use Right At School’s Learning Management System to take online modules on topics such as safety, curriculum delivery and positive-guidance. Staff are tested on their knowledge in each area. Staff then do on-site scenario-based training with their before- and after-school teams. All staff then receive regular feedback and coaching from their Area Manager.

Right At School staff are equipped to support students of varying needs. In the case of students with trauma history disclosed by parents, they invite parents to meet with the program team to discuss signs and symptoms of trauma for the child, any methods that could be incorporated to be responsive to the child’s needs and learn how to avoid triggers or anything could re-traumatize a student. Right At School would also volunteer to partner with school day teachers to align methods in support of each child’s needs.

Right At School’s prices are 10% lower than what parents are currently paying, and families will now be able to register for 1-5 days per week, meaning they will only pay for the days they need.
