Year-Round Enrichment with EduCare

Whitmore Lake EduCare is more than just childcare, it's a Montessori-inspired, enrichment-based program designed for Preschool through 6th grade students. Located at our Main Street Campus, EduCare supports families year-round with before and after school care, full-day options on no-school days, and extended care during school breaks.

The program blends structured, play based activities with free choice opportunities that align with Montessori philosophy. Children are grouped by mixed ages, encouraging positive peer relationships and self-directed learning. Whether it's morning movement in the gym or hands-on projects inspired by the seasons, EduCare offers a safe, fun, and engaging space where students grow socially, emotionally, and academically.
