St. John Catholic School

The ABC Care Center at St. John Catholic School is a MD EXCELS Level 4 and two-time nationally accredited program, serving pre-kindergarten students ages 3 and 4 through middle school from multiple school communities in one location. Our age-appropriate activities ensure enrichment and learning at the child’s level, enabling all students to reach their individual potential. Our students are actively engaged in daily activities as they run a café, create messy art projects, and plan large events for the center. Students also enjoy their supervised free play time in the school’s large gymnasium.

The NAA Standards for School-Age Quality specifically address the indicators of quality programs reflected in current research. Examples include meeting the developmentally different needs of youth, 5-14 years, involving children and youth in program planning, providing positive interactions between children and youth and adults, and ensuring a safe and challenging environment for children and youth in and out of school time.

This Location Meets COA Standards
COA's After School Standards represent a merging of NAA's standards and COA's 8th Edition Standards, and include three different sections of standards: After School Program Administration (ASP-AM), After School Human Resources (ASP-HR), and After School Programming and Services (ASP-PS). The set of standards are based on generally-accepted elements of best practice, outcomes-oriented, effective in advancing quality, and responsive to the unique needs and diversity of after school programs. COA's standards are grounded in a long-standing, widely held belief that children, youth, and families benefit when a program enhances its capacity to achieve its mission and validate its impact. “Children and youth who participate in After School and Youth Development programs gain the personal, social, emotional, and educational assets needed to support healthy development, increase well-being, and facilitate a successful transition through childhood, adolescence, and into adulthood.” Council of Accreditation Core Purpose
