In
today’s world of crazy schedules, balancing
the needs of the adult schedule to the child’s
schedule can often be a daunting task! Heritage to the
rescue! As you will see, Heritage nicely balances the
needs of the older child with the needs of the parent!
HLC’s
fantastic, before and after school program is located
in a separate building called the "Clubhouse."
It is uniquely divided into six large rooms. Heritage
offers two, separate programs called Adventurers
(for younger children) and Explorers (for older
children). Due to the vast differences between kindergarten
and fifth grade children, Adventurers and Explorers
have different room assignments and enjoy activities
both on and off campus that are geared specifically
for the age of the child.
 On
campus each program has an Arcade Room (child-friendly
and no quarters necessary); an Arts & Crafts
Room which is also used for cooking and science
projects; and a Computer Lab with a big screen
television, Nintendo Game Cube, Wii, and library center.
In addition, all of the Clubhouse rooms are also equipped
with manipulatives and table games. Classes rotate between
the rooms which provide each child with varied activities
and an environment appropriate for his/her age.
Daily
your child can expect the following things when they
arrive at Heritage:
 1. Get
a nutritious snack
2. Receive homework assistance
3. Participate in well-planned activities
4. Interact with others around his/her same age
5. Enjoy the plethora of games and equipment provided
6. Have the opportunity to be in extracurricular programs
 During
school holidays such as Thanksgiving Week, Christmas
Vacation, Spring Break, and teacher in-service days,
the Adventurers and Explorers enjoy many off campus
field trips. And, because the students will be in the
care of Heritage during those full days, they will receive
a daily hot lunch and two, nutritious snacks. Are you
ready for the best part? There is no additional cost
for extended day care
and food! Budgeting is simple at Heritage!
Last,
busy parents often wish they had more time in their
day to have their children active in extracurricular
activities. HLC partners with special programs offered
to Clubhouse students at an additional cost during the
school year such as Karate and Piano Lessons.
HLC’s partnership with McKinney Dance Academy
allows your child to participate in dance lessons at
their local dance studio because of their “Daycare
to Dance” Van. Through Heritage, children do not
have to miss out on extracurricular opportunities!
Transportation

McKinney ISD, some schools in both Frisco and Prosper
ISD, and the Life School off Eldorado Parkway. Contact

Summers
at the Clubhouse
It
is the intention of Heritage Learning Center not only
to provide summer excitement for the children but also
to give every child the gift of a loving, nurturing
teacher who will play with and guide each child through
a memorable summer.
For
children of parents who are full-time professionals,
there simply is no better summer program for 5-12 year
olds in McKinney than the Clubhouse at Heritage! During
the summer, Adventurers and Explorers enjoy multiple
field trips each week. The trip destinations include:
 •
Swimming
• Skating
• Bowling
• Laser tag
• Whirly ball
• Movie theaters
• Dallas World Aquarium
• Going out to lunch together
• Indoor rock climbing
• Creating pottery and art at area art houses,
and more!
Our
four, large, yellow school busses are always full and
on the go for summer fun!
 On-campus
days are full of excitement as well. HLC’s large,
above-ground, spray water park resembles Celebration
Park in Allen or Aviator Park here in McKinney. Students
arrive in swim gear and enjoy the water park on their
scheduled day of the week. When Clubhouse students are
not at the water park, they may also enjoy the rented,
out-door water slides and other inflatables during our
Country Fair and Cookout event or just hang out with
friends on the park-size playground that is reserved
only for Clubhouse students.
 If
not on a trip or enjoying the wonderful outdoor summer
weather, Clubhouse students can be found participating in many
special activities either in their classrooms or in
the Presentation Room (which is the Playroom for our
younger students). These presentations include visits
from Mad Science, participating in HLC Idol, a karaoke
event, and our annual end of summer Talent Show.
 All
of this summer fun is not over, though! Don’t forget
the two computer labs, two full-size arcade game rooms,
and two multipurpose art rooms that are provided to
all the children each day! In their classrooms, students
are completing art projects, exploring science through
experiments, making their own snack on their cooking
day, playing table games with their buddies, and playing
games on the computer and in the arcades. It is easy
to see that Heritage is the place to be year round especially
during the summertime!
