The purpose of the STAR Program is to provide a supervised, safe, enriching and nurturing after-school experience for San Juan Island youth in grades TK-5 (Starting October 1st, children enrolled in TK that have turned 5 will be allowed to register for STAR). The program is structured to provide opportunities for every child to learn, play, socialize and grow. The daily program includes homework time, outdoor and/or gym play, and a snack. Children should ultimately have fun and leave the program feeling good about themselves and their experience.
