When you’re a working family with school-age children, finding reliable before- and after-school care can be hard to come by. Shelly's Playhouse has got you covered.

Our before- and after-care programs go well beyond homework help. We support all your childrens needs.  We give each child the space, encouragement, and materials they need to follow their dreams.
