Knights Kids After School Program
LNC Elementary School's Knights Kids afterschool program serves students in kindergarten through 4th grade on the LNC ES East and ES West campuses. The program is designed to support working families while providing a safe, structured, and engaging environment for children at the end of the school day.
Students remain on the Lake Norman Charter campus and participate in a daily routine that includes homework time, snack, recess, and age-appropriate activities and games. The Knights Kids Counselors - our own LNC high schoolers - are on site each afternoon to create a supportive space where children can relax, recharge, and enjoy time with peers after a full day of learning.
