SCHOOL AGE
Generating Positive Outcomes
Neighborhood House’s School Age child care program serves as an important force in the lives of Portland-area youth and their families. Our highly regarded school-based program promotes educational success and family involvement, providing culturally-relevant content thanks to our committed and multicultural staff.
Neighborhood House runs after-school programs at four Portland Public Schools elementary campuses in N and NE Portland: Boise-Eliot/Humboldt, Chief Joseph, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, and Sabin.
Enrich Your Child’s Life
Children from working families have a safe, fun, and nurturing home away from home.
Parents have the peace of mind that comes with quality, affordable child care.
Extended-day activities include:
- Project-based lessons
- Art, sports, and other enrichment
- Relationship building with peers
- Opportunities to lead
- Safe, supportive space after school.
Full-day care is offered on vacation days, teacher in-service days, early release days and other days students have off from class.
During the summer, the School Age program holds several weeks of full-day summer camp. Each week has a theme, which includes special guests, field trips and fun activities. Schedule and applications will be available in April each year.

Summer Camp Fun 2024
Six Weeks of Summer Fun!
We had a blast this summer with 6 weeks of themed camps exploring Ocean Life, Time Travel, Mystery Week and more! Each week featured a trip to a local park, a field trip to a museum or play place, and a featured guest related to the theme.
The kids (and staff!) learned a lot, had fun and made lasting friendships. Thank you to all the familes who entrust their children to Neighborhood House each summer.
Check back in the spring for next summer’s camp offerings!
