At Safari Kid Sunnyvale, our after-school program is designed to turn learning into an engaging adventure for kids in Transitional Kindergarten through 6th grade. We create a welcoming environment where children thrive academically, explore new interests, and build essential life skills each day.

Comprehensive Learning Support in Our Sunnyvale After-School Program

Our program combines academic support with enriching extracurricular activities so every child has the support and experiences needed to succeed. We offer:

  • Homework Assistance: Our experienced staff helps students with their homework, providing guidance and explanations that reinforce what they learn in class. This gives families more quality time together after school.
  • Extended Learning: Our program features extra lessons and activities that align with academic standards, bridge the gap between school and home, and keep students engaged.

Beyond homework help, our extended learning includes STEM projects and hands-on science experiments that make math and science practical and exciting. We also lead technology sessions introducing coding and digital literacy, which help prepare students for a world where these skills matter. Our activities spark curiosity and tie learning to real-life scenarios.

Our location in Sunnyvale lets us match projects and activities to local interests and school coursework. We communicate with nearby schools, creating a smooth bridge between the school day and after school. Students work on assignments that align with the Sunnyvale School District, and our staff keeps families up to date so every child transitions smoothly between school and our after-school program.

Building Well-Rounded Individuals at Safari Kid Sunnyvale

We foster creativity, critical thinking, and personal growth in every child. Through a range of extracurricular activities, we encourage children to explore new interests and develop skills beyond the classroom. Our activities include:

  • Spelling bees
  • Public speaking and drama
  • Creative writing and arts & crafts
  • Team-building exercises
  • Geography and critical thinking

These activities build teamwork, encourage self-expression, and challenge students to think in new ways.

Many group activities highlight responsibility and leadership, giving children tools to handle challenges in and out of school. We value curiosity and creativity as building blocks for growth and design each experience to foster confidence and resilience in a fun environment.

Our program introduces children to music and foreign language classes, widening their cultural awareness and helping them appreciate different perspectives.

To accommodate different schedules, we offer flexible hours and optional weekend workshops focused on interests such as robotics, art, or sports.

Incorporating Local Culture & Diversity in Sunnyvale

We embrace the diverse culture of Sunnyvale as an essential part of our program. Through interactive workshops and cultural exchange activities, children discover the region’s rich history and traditions. These experiences foster inclusion and help children develop a lifetime of social awareness.

We attend neighborhood festivals and invite guest speakers who represent the many cultures and backgrounds in Sunnyvale. These experiences teach students about the people and values that make our community unique. By learning about local traditions and languages, children forge connections and build pride in the place they call home.

We offer local arts and crafts sessions that celebrate the cultures in our community. Students express themselves creatively and learn about local traditions. By highlighting different festivals and customs, we help students grow culturally aware and encourage tolerance and respect from an early age.

Enhancing Emotional & Social Skills Through Our After School Program

Safari Kid Sunnyvale puts each child's emotional health and social development at the center of our approach. Our program integrates social and emotional learning (SEL) strategies that improve emotional intelligence, empathy, and communication skills. When students join teamwork activities, they learn to navigate social situations and build respectful, caring relationships with others.

We use techniques designed to support the needs of families in Sunnyvale, where children bring many backgrounds and experiences. By providing collaborative activities and role-playing based on our multicultural setting, children learn to carry empathy and respect into daily life. This practical approach helps students develop stronger peer relationships during school and beyond.

We offer sessions focused on emotions, stress management, and conflict resolution so children can handle challenges and express themselves with confidence. Through role-playing and interactive discussion, students practice empathy and build skills for positive, lasting relationships.

We hire educators who meet state and local requirements for after school programs, and we provide ongoing training so staff stay current with the best practices in education and classroom management. To ensure safety, every employee completes background checks and keeps certifications in child safety and first aid up to date.

Parents trust our team to respond quickly to everyday needs, maintain open communication with families, and create a sense of belonging for each child. Our secure facility meets all California childcare regulations, and our daily sign-in and sign-out system helps us track attendance and maintain accountability.

What a Typical Day Looks Like at Safari Kid Sunnyvale

Our daily routine gives children structure, variety, and space to explore new interests every afternoon. Students arrive to a warm welcome, enjoy a snack, and settle in for quiet homework and academic support. Once homework wraps up, we shift to enrichment activities, which may include science labs, group games, or outdoor play to take advantage of Sunnyvale's mild climate.

As the day continues, staff guide students through creative sessions like art, music, or language lessons, using resources that reflect the diversity and energy of our local area. Outdoor play helps kids recharge, and we close each day with group reflection, preparing students for a positive transition home.
