Finding reliable before and after school care in Easton, MD can be one of the biggest challenges for working parents. You need a program that keeps your child safe, supports their education, and gives them something to look forward to after the school bell rings. At The LAB Child Care Center, we've built exactly that — a structured, enriching before and after school program designed for families across Talbot County.
Why Families Choose The LAB for Before & After School Care
Located at 26 Creamery Lane, Easton, MD 21601, The LAB Child Care Center offers before and after school care for children ages 4 and up. Our program is built around the idea that the hours before and after school shouldn't be wasted — they should be used to help children grow, learn, and stay active.
Every morning, we welcome children as early as 6:00 AM, providing a calm, supervised space where they can eat breakfast, finish homework, or simply start the day with friends. In the afternoon, students arrive from school and transition into a structured schedule that includes homework time, physical activity, creative play, and snacks.
Parents across Easton trust us because we're more than just supervision. We're a second home where children build confidence, friendships, and healthy habits.
School Partners & Transportation
One of the biggest advantages of choosing The LAB is our partnership with local schools throughout Talbot County. We coordinate transportation to and from the following schools:
This means no stressful pickup logistics for parents. Your child gets picked up from school and brought safely to The LAB, where they're already settled in and having fun by the time you finish your workday.
The Martial Arts Bridge Program
🥋 Something No Other After School Program Offers
Our unique martial arts bridge program sets The LAB apart from every other before and after school care option in Easton, MD. Children ages 4 and up participate in structured martial arts training as part of their daily routine.
The LAB Child Care Center operates within The LAB Martial Arts and Fitness Center, giving our after school students direct access to a world-class training facility. Our martial arts bridge program isn't just about punches and kicks — it's a character development system that teaches:
- Discipline and focus — skills that transfer directly to better academic performance
- Respect and self-control — values reinforced through martial arts traditions
- Physical fitness — keeping kids active and healthy after sitting in classrooms all day
- Confidence and resilience — learning to overcome challenges on the mat and in life
- Teamwork and sportsmanship — working with training partners of all ages
Children train in age-appropriate martial arts classes including karate, jiu jitsu, and other disciplines offered at The LAB. This is a unique advantage that no other before and after school care program in Talbot County can match.
