We know that parents juggle a lot, and one of the balls that can’t be dropped is peace of mind about their child’s day. We also know that kids deserve a fun, safe place to land before and after school. Arco Iris Spanish Immersion School’s Before & After School Care programs are designed to keep children happy, engaged, and immersed in a safe school environment in Beaverton all day long so parents can take care of the many other things that the day demands of them. From sunrise to late afternoon, we’ve got you covered with nurturing staff and activities that spark joy and learning.
Our Buenos Dias program kicks off every school day at 7:00 a.m. and runs until the morning bell rings. It’s the perfect way to ease kids into their day. They’ll enjoy a healthy snack, then dive into reading, chatting with friends, or playing games—all in a familiar and relaxed setting. Less morning rush = more time to start the morning right.
We also offer Buenas Tardes, our after-school program, running from dismissal until 5:30 p.m. This is more than just after school care—it’s a Spanish immersion adventure! Kids unwind in a pleasant environment, working on art projects, free reading, and creative writing. They’ll also enjoy self-directed play, munch on a healthy snack, and explore new activities guided by our experienced staff. We bring Spanish to life through songs, puppet shows, dancing, and teacher-led outdoor games—fun formats that make practicing Spanish feel effortless and exciting.
Both programs are led by caring, skilled staff who weave in recreational play, speaking and listening activities, arts and crafts, and storytelling—all in Spanish. Every activity ties into school themes and celebrations, so learning stays connected and meaningful. At the end of the school day, children find a place to practice conversational Spanish through creative expression, guided learning, and self-directed play in our program.
All enrolled K-5 Arco Iris students are welcome to attend our Before & After School programs. More information regarding policies and procedures, as well as rates and a link to register, can be found on our website.
