After-school program in Sylvania, Ohio
Tote is an after-school program for children in kindergarten through grade 6, in the cafeteria, library and gym of a school building. Every afternoon runs the same way: snack, homework hour, an activity, then pickup.
Plans
Every plan includes snack, homework hour and the afternoon activity. The days you choose are the days your child's place is held.
Tuesday and Thursday, from the last bell to pickup.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from the last bell to pickup.
Every school day, with the same group of children all week.
The figures for every plan are on our enrollment page, and Lasha goes through them with you.
Closed days
We rent the school building, so we close when it closes. These are the breaks to plan around; the exact days follow the district's calendar and reach families in writing.
Early September · The building is closed, so we are too.
Mid-October · The school holds parent conferences; we close with it.
Late November · We close for the same days as the school.
Late December to early January · We reopen on the first school day back.
Late March · We close for the full week, along with the school.
Late May · We close on every school holiday.

Families
“I tell Lasha which days I need and a place is held on those days. When the school has a day off, the closed-days list already told me.”
“At pickup the person at the door knows who is on our list, and I sign my kids out on the clipboard. It takes a minute and I always know it was done.”
“Homework hour is quiet, and there is a staff member at the table when my son has a question. Then he heads to the gym with everyone else.”
Sample reviews.
Questions
Children in kindergarten through grade 6, ages 5 to 12. Children are grouped by grade for homework hour and mix across grades for the activity hour.
Choose the days you need covered. Two afternoons are Tuesday and Thursday, three are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and five are every school day. If your schedule changes, tell us and we move your days when there is room.
We are closed whenever the building is closed. The closed days for the year go out to families in writing, so you can plan other care ahead.
Tell us about allergies when you tour, and we ask for details privately once you enroll. Medicine is given only with your written permission, by a staff member trained to give it.
Yes, when there is room on the days both families need. Each family registers separately, and we try to place friends together when both families ask.
Fall registration opens in June. Call or text and we will show you the cafeteria, the library and the gym first.
