recKids Before & After School Care

Reliable care. Fun experiences. A great start and finish to every school day!

The Lititz recCenter is proud to partner with Warwick School District Families to provide quality, licensed child care for school-age children. Our recKids Programs offer a safe, welcoming place for children to learn, play, build friendships, and explore their interests before and after school.

In addition to school-year care, recKids offers summer childcare and care options for eligible school holidays and weather-related school closures.

Our Programs are licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (PA DHS) and staffed by qualified, experienced childcare professionals who are committed to creating a positive experience for every child.

What Does a Typical Day Look Like?

At recKids, we believe children should have time learn, unwind, move, create, and connect with friends. Our program offers a variety of activities designed to make before and after school time enjoyable and engaging.

Children can enjoy:

Homework time to help get schoolwork done
Healthy snacks to refuel after a busy school day
Arts and Crafts that encourage creativity
Games and music for fun and social interaction
Active play in the gymnasiums and playgrounds
Age-appropriate activities designed to meet the interests and developmental needs of older students in grades 4-6.

Our goal is to create a balance of structured activities, active play, and opportunities for children to spend time with friends in a supportive environment.

How Do I Enroll?

Enrollment is required for all recKids programs, including before and after school care, summer childcare, and special day and snowy day camps.

Enrollment is available on an ongoing basis as space permits. Because our programs must follow PA DHS staff-to-child ratio requirements, availability may be limited at each location.
We encourage families to plan ahead and complete enrollment as early as possible.
