After School Care

Stepping Stones serves fifteen of our elementary schools with high-quality afterschool enrichment programs, as well as top-notch summer programming. We deliver a strong foundation of Academics, Enrichment, and Recreation.

Enrolling your child in Stepping Stones brings many benefits to your child and your family.  First off, there is the peace of mind felt by parents and guardians, knowing that their child is in a safe environment surrounded by a professional staff. But there are other benefits as well. Did you know that research shows quality, school age “afterschool” or “out of school time” programs like Stepping Stones contribute to the overall health and well-being of school age youth?


Academics
During academic time, students work on homework and school day assignments. If extra help is needed, Stepping Stones staff and Davenport Community Schools certified teachers are available for assistance. There is also a free play time where students are provided with educational materials, books, and games.


Enrichment
Enrichment is a time for students to explore topics and subjects that they might not always have the opportunity to do. Enrichment allows students to:

  • Experience the relevance of school day academics
  • Engage with community experts
  • Participate in unique experiences
  • Develop a positive attitude about learning

Stepping Stones enrichment partners include such organizations as Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, Scott County; The Figge Art Museum; The River Music Experience; The Putnam Museum; The American Red Cross of the Quad Cities Area, and many more.


Recreation
During recreation time, students participate in physical activities, learn about healthy habits,  and 
engage in team-building activities. There is also a free time where students are able to play games, do crafts and art projects, and socialize with peers.
