Somewhere to land at 3 o'clock

After School Care in Nashua, NH

  • 6 – 13 years
  • Mon–Fri, 7:00 AM – 5:30 PM
  • Ask about openings

The gap between the end of the school day and the end of the working day is a logistics problem, and it is also four hours of your child's life every weekday. We try to make those four hours worth having: homework done before they get home, time outside, and something to build or play that is not a screen.

We take children from 6 to 13, which is older than most centers in Nashua go, so a family with a first-grader and a sixth-grader can use one place.

What's included

What you get with after-school care

  • Homework first

    A quiet space and an adult to ask, before the rest of the afternoon starts. Most children go home with it done.

  • Afternoon snack

    Provided. Tell us about allergies and we will work around them.

  • Open until 5:30 PM

    Every weekday. Wise Owl Academy is open 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday to Friday.

  • School vacations and early release

    Ask us about coverage for early-release days and school vacation weeks when you book your tour.

Our ratios

Teachers to children, by room

New Hampshire sets these by age. They are one of the few numbers you can compare directly between centers, so we publish ours instead of describing them as low.

A day in this room

The shape of the day

We are open Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Arrival and quiet play, a morning meeting, outside time, lunch, rest and an afternoon project — that is the shape of every day in this room, and the exact times shift with the age group.

We deliberately run tours while children are in the classrooms, so the fastest way to see the day is to come and watch twenty minutes of one.

After school — questions parents ask

What ages do you take for after school?

6 to 13 years. Wise Owl Academy is licensed for children 2 months through 13 years, so an after-school place and a preschool place can be at the same center.

How late can I collect?

We close at 5:30 PM, Monday to Friday.

Do you cover school vacation weeks?

Ask us when you call — coverage for vacation weeks and early-release days varies by the school calendar, and we will tell you exactly what is available for your child's school.

Come and see after-school care

Tours run Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM and take about 30 minutes. You will see this room while children are in it, and leave with a printed tuition sheet and the current openings for 6 – 13 years.
