About the Provider

Advertisement
Welcome to Hildebrandt at School. We are excited to begin a new partnership with Manheim Central School District this year. Our program is operated in the school building which is secure and familiar to the students. Before and after school we provide opportunities for school age children to feel supported, significant and challenged all in an environment that is relaxing and engaging. We encourage children to explore their interests in learning centers, interact with friends and find their passions. Children are empowered as they are an important part of the community that is created. They often will initiate our investigations. We know learning is more fun and is retained longer when it is relevant to the student. We will participate in the Pennsylvania’s quality initiative program entitled Keystone STARS once the school year begins. We also participate with CCIS.

We do offer services early dismissals and no school days.

We offer an afternoon snack.
