Stay & Play – Before and After School Program

Our Stay and Play Program is open to all children who attend kindergarten through 5^th grade. Due to space restrictions, enrollment in this program is limited. Busing is available from the local Elementary Schools in the Lakeland Central School District. Tom Thumb has been offering the Stay and Play After School Program on the Tom Campus for over 15 years as a fun environment that is secure, safe, and supervised.  Our program is Licensed by the New York Office of Children and Family Services.

Delayed Opening Policy for Stay and Play Safely Club, ThumBelina, and Tom Thumb Students

We operate only on those days when the Lakeland Central School District has classes in session. When Lakeland has delayed openings, we will delay 1 hour only. Thus, Our “Before School Care” program will open at 7:50 AM for a delayed opening. When Lakeland schools close early due to weather, we allow working parents enough time to make arrangements for pick-up. We trust parents will come as soon as possible.

Our Program is Focused on Learning, Games, Play and Fun

• Before School Care from 6:50 AM
• After School Care until to 6:00 PM
