The Bus Stop Program is located at Lima United Methodist Church. We are a state licensed program that is in session from September to June, following the Rose Tree Media School District Calendar.
At the Bus Stop Program we believe that outdoor play is important for children! We spend as much time outside as possible. We have a large playground and field that the children have access to. Children are also able to bring games, crafts, and other toys outside. When the weather forces us inside, the children have access to plenty of toys, games, puzzles, and craft supplies as well as a large open area to play four square, hockey, and other active games.
The Bus Stop Program offers both before and after school care for children grades kindergarten through 8th grade from the following schools:
- Glenwood Elementary School
- Indian Lane Elementary School
- Springton Lake Middle School
- Mother of Providence Regional Catholic School
- St. Mary Magdalen
