After 52 minutes this facility determined that my son was not a fit for their 11 week summer…read moreprogram and had me remove him from the facility. We had been on a waiting list for several months and were up front about his speech delay, quirky personality, and independent style of play. Assumptions were made regarding what he would be able to do or not do during the course of the program with nothing but 52 minutes of total interaction. No accommodations were discussed or provided. There were no tears, accidents, violence, or rules broken. I would not recommend this facility to anyone with a child who is anything but "normal" and easy. It's not worth your time and certainly not there's.

After the Bell is a premier child care facility in Newport!…read more They have recently moved to a renovated building with lots of bright colors and provides a fantastic atmosphere for the kids. It is clean, organized and overall a wonderful facility. ATB offers after school care directly across the street from Newport Elementary which is very convenient! During inclement weather, they have a van that transports the kids. Mrs. Debbie chooses her staff wisely and wants the best for the kids. Debbie and her staff have a fantastic setup, they truly care about the kids and they have a tremendous amount of activities for the kids to do while they are there. Our son asks to be picked up late some days because he has so much fun! Some of his favorite things are the Lego area, playing games, drawing at the drawing tables, playing Minecraft on the Xbox or racing on the Wii, or outdoor activities like basketball, smack ball, and four square. In addition to all of that, our son gets the majority of his homework done at ATB which is a huge help to our nightly routine. Because he is afforded the snack and quiet time after school, our evenings are peaceful. It is a win-win-win for parents to know their kids are safe, have a protective atmosphere, and have time for homework and socializing with their friends. During the summer, ATB also offers a structured and fun summer camp program including specific activities each day and two field trips a week. My son looks forward to seeing the calendar for the summer every year when it's published. All in all, this is a fantastic child care facility that has become a part of our family. We will truly miss it when our son ages out! We would encourage any family looking for after school care to visit Debbie and the facility. The pictures posted here are a true representation of what is offered but to see how clean and organized it is would be beneficial to a new family as well!
