It Started on a Third Floor
Nick grew up going to a program called 3rd Level. It ran on the third floor of a church, after school, and it wasn't a basketball program at all — it was a room. Kids did chores, hung out, and there was always someone there who knew their names.
He'll tell you it was one of the best things in his life at that age: there was somewhere to be between the last bell and dinner, and someone who noticed if you didn't turn up.
That’s what we want to build for Chatham-Kent kids: somewhere to be between the last bell and dinner, with adults who know their names.
Potential programming may include
- Basketball
- Homework time
- Games
- Snacks
- Mentors
- Leadership
- Structured free time
Nothing here is final. Transportation and other features won’t be promised until they’re confirmed.
What We're Confirming First
We'd rather open this properly than open it fast. Here's what has to be in place before registration opens.
A home
A location that works for families and gives kids real space to play. We're in conversations now.
The schedule
Days, hours and pickup times — shaped partly by what families on this list tell us.
Pricing and scholarships
Fair monthly pricing, with scholarship spots so cost isn't the reason a child misses out.
Safety and operating requirements
Screening, supervision and the right operating structure, confirmed before we open registration.
Join the Interest List
Tell us about your family. It shapes the schedule, and you'll hear first when registration opens.
After-School Questions
Is the after-school program running now?+
Not yet. We're working on a location and the program details now. Joining the interest list doesn't commit you to anything — it tells us who's interested and lets us contact you first when details are confirmed.
What might the program include?+
The plan is a positive place for kids to play, learn, connect and belong after school — basketball, homework time, games, snacks, mentors and structured free time. Final details, including days, times and pricing, will be confirmed before registration opens.
Will there be transportation from school?+
That isn't confirmed. The interest form asks whether transportation would matter to your family so we can understand what's needed — please don't plan around it yet.
Is this daycare?+
The goal is a basketball and youth-development program, not a daycare. We're confirming the right operating structure with the appropriate authorities before we open registration.
How much will it cost?+
Pricing will be confirmed before registration opens. Scholarship spots will be available so cost isn't the reason a child misses out.
