Afterschool Program
A place for kids to relax and have fun with friends - while you finish your work day.
Enriching care and activities
Screen-free socialization and learning
The Think Lounge® Nurture Center Afterschool program is an engaging and relaxing experience designed for school age children to de-stress and gain useful skills, while having fun with mixed age peers. Each day of the week is a different theme. On Origami Mondays, kids can opt into a group origami class or pick their own unique creation or craft to tackle. Tasty Tuesdays is our chance to learn basic life skills in kitchen etiquette, food safety, portion control and recipe creation. Wacky Wednesdays is dedicated to our kid scientists who want nothing more but to explore and experiment. Solve it Thursdays is all about working as a team to solve a mystery or work individually on a puzzle of choice. Game Day Fridays enables kiddos to explore the vast world of screen-free games in a family-like atmosphere.

Jen Nilan
Owner, General Manager, Early Childhood Educator & Caregiver
With a background and graduate degree in business, I developed my passion for working with kids as a volunteer teacher and coach with organizations such as Hill Country Bible Church, Education Connection, and the YMCA Twin Lakes, focusing specifically on toddlers, preschoolers and early elementary. It's so gratifying now that this passion can take center stage at my own business, where I feel truly fulfilled working full-time with children and most importantly, supporting other families in their parenthood journey.
