Linda started with AFTER SCHOOL the Fall of 2009.  After completing several courses at M.A.T.C. for owning and operating an in-home daycare, Linda provided childcare to children of all ages in her own Madison-based home daycare from 1988 to 2004.  She enjoys horseback riding, knitting, reading, theatre and spending time with her husband and three children.

Randall AFTER SCHOOL K-2 graders meet in the upper level “cafetorium.”  The children enjoy art activities, games and Legos.  They also make use of the stage for performances or as another play space.  The older club kids, grades 3-5, meet in the lower level gym where they have access to a kitchen for cooking activities.  They enjoy working on long term and 4-H club projects.  Both groups use the gym and a fenced playground with four-square courts, basketball hoops, climbing equipment for active play and shady areas for make believe and hanging out with friends.  Favorite group games include Doctor Dodge, soccer, and parachute games.  Randall AFTER SCHOOL is a choice-based program.  We believe in offering many opportunities for kids to have fun and explore their interests.  Kid input is important too!  We encourage their suggestions for safe, appropriate activities.   We provide a welcoming atmosphere that supports friendships and builds social skills, daily homework time with adult help and outdoor play every day (weather permitting) for good health.   Third, fourth and fifth graders can participate in 4-H programming.  Scouting is offered at some sites based on child interest and availability of volunteers.  Many of our Dane County AFTER SCHOOL sites offer enrichment classes.  These include World Language, art and science classes.  Click here to learn more.   Enrichment classes can be arranged at most AFTER SCHOOL sites if there is enough interest.  Email janderson@wisconsinyouthcompany.org to learn more.
