childcare
Right At School At Boyd E. Smith Elementary is a nationally established school-age program operated at Boyd E. Smith Elementary in Milford, offering before- and after-school care with flexible scheduling (1–5 days per week) and drop-in options. Extended hours from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM support working families, while summer camps and themed Discovery Clubs add structure to children's free time. The program uses a curiosity-inspiring curriculum centered on hands-on exploration and creative projects. As a school-age-only provider with no infant, toddler, or preschool care, it fills a specific niche in the school-year childcare market; the absence of a state quality rating limits independent verification of program quality.
