Immanuel Crystal Lake Before & After School Care

Immanuel Crystal Lake School is pleased to offer Immanuel Care, a before and after school program providing quality, Christ-centered childcare for our school families—including flexible drop‑in options. Our mission is to create a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable environment where children are cared for, encouraged, and supported in their growth.

Rooted in Christian values, Immanuel Care seeks to reflect the love of Christ in all we do, partnering with parents to nurture children spiritually, socially, and academically.

Flexible Care for Busy Families
Parents may use Immanuel Care daily or as needed—you choose the schedule that works best for your family.

Program hours on school days are:

• Before school: 6:30–7:30 a.m. (until 8:15 a.m. for preschool students)

• After school: 2:10–5:30 p.m.

Preschool families are encouraged to ask their child’s teacher about our new Preschool Lunch Bunch option, designed to provide an extended, engaging mid‑day experience.

What Immanuel Care Offers Your Child

Children in Immanuel Care enjoy a balance of play, learning, and quiet time in a caring, supervised setting, including:

• Cozy Corner: A relaxed space for imaginative play, reading, and quiet activities.

• Homework Tables: Designated areas for homework, projects, and quiet study, with adults available to encourage and support students.

• Outdoor Playground (weather permitting): Time to run, play, and enjoy fresh air while building friendships.

• Enriching Activities: Age‑appropriate games, crafts, and group activities that help your child unwind after school and build positive relationships.

Our goal is to make before and after school time a meaningful, enjoyable part of your child’s day—one that supports your family’s routine and reflects the care and love of Christ.
