Clubhouse Afterschool

The Clubhouse Afterschool program provides childcare for children in grades K-5, ages 5-12. Only Oak Park residents are eligible for this program. Clubhouse serves students from all eight District 97 elementary schools.

Clubhouse staff pick children up immediately after school and escort them to the nearest Park District Center. During the Clubhouse program, children participate in a variety of structured and unstructured activities. Indoor and outdoor learning experiences feature fun recreational activities, such as group games and sporting activities, as well as time to relax, read, do homework, and participate in quiet activities such as arts and crafts and table games. An after school snack will be provided each day.
