Before & After School Care in Burley, Idaho
For kiddos kindergarten through 12 years: safe mornings, fun afternoons, bus pickup from Burley-area schools, and a huge indoor gym waiting when they get here.
The school day ends before the workday does, and that gap is where we come in. Our before- and after-school program in Burley gives working parents a safe, reliable bookend to the school day: drop-off starting at 7:00 AM, bus pickup from Burley-area schools in the afternoon, and care that lasts until 6:00 PM.
School-age kiddos don't want to feel babysat, and we don't treat them that way. They get choices: quiet time for homework and reading, outdoor play on our acre, and the huge indoor gym that makes even rainy Burley afternoons fun. Families from across Mini Cassia count on us for before-school, after-school, no-school days, and the whole summer.
The Environment
- A dedicated space for big kids, separate from the little-kid rooms
- A quiet stretch for homework and reading, with staff who help
- Free-choice activities: games, building, art, and hanging out with friends
- Daily outdoor play on our acre, weather permitting
- The huge indoor gym with swings, every day, rain or shine
- Snacks after school, because growing kids are hungry kids
Our bus handles the school run, so your workday doesn't break at 3:00. Kids arrive, grab a snack, burn some energy in the gym, and ease into the afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ages does before and after school care cover?
Kindergarten through 12 years old. Some of our school-age kiddos have been with us since the infant room, and they still love coming back for gym time and their friends.
Which schools does your bus serve?
Our bus picks up from Burley-area elementary schools. If you're wondering about your child's school, call (208) 670-8823 and we'll tell you exactly what's possible for your route.
What are your hours for school-age families?
We're open Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Before-school care starts at 7:00 AM, and after-school kiddos stay busy until pickup by 6:00 PM.
What happens on no-school days and summer?
We run full-day care: field trips on our school bus, daily indoor gym time, outdoor play on the acre, and quieter time for reading and recharging. Many Mini Cassia families use us as their summer home base.
Is there time for homework?
Yes. After-school afternoons include a quiet stretch for reading and homework, with staff nearby to help. Then the kids head for the gym, because balance matters.
Do you accept ICCP for school-age care?
Yes. Lorraines is a licensed Idaho provider and accepts ICCP, which helps eligible working families cover a portion of child care costs, including before- and after-school care.
Come See It for Yourself
The best way to know if Lorraines is right for your kiddo is to walk the rooms, meet the teachers, and watch the kids play. Tours are always welcome, call ahead or send us a note.
