If you have faced challenges with distance learning throughout this pandemic, you aren’t alone. Whether you are looking for alternative childcare solutions or to support your children through distance learning, there are a lot of options for your family!
Here is a roundup of our local partners that have adapted to meet the growing needs of San Diego families.
G3Kids UTC
After-School Program
G3 Kids After-School Care Programs provide well-rounded experiences for children after school. We believe that after a long day at school, it is important that children get a chance to unwind by doing gymnastics and obstacle courses, but it’s also important that they get their homework done and snack on something healthy as well.
G3 Enrichment Camp
This program will provide a place for kids to go during the day to focus on school work while also building social relationships, joining energy-burning activities, and increasing cognitive skills. G3Kids is happy and excited to be providing support to our San Diego community and families.
This is a hands on program, allowing parents to provide guilt-free care and academic development for their children.
Grades K through 5 | Monday – Friday 8am-2:30pm | $999/month | Learn More
Coastal Roots Farm
Coastal Roots Farm has launched an immersive outdoor experience perfect for kiddos (K-5th grade) in need of fresh air in a safe and socially distanced environment. Kids will learn about where food comes from, why it matters, and how they can change the world—all while their parents get an affordable childcare option during this difficult time.
Families can choose a month-long session on either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday, with two time options – Early Afternoon: 1-4pm with optional After Care 4-5pm, or Late Afternoon: 3-5pm.
The twice-weekly After School Farm Camp sessions are $250 per monthly session for Early Afternoon (3-hour Farm Camp day) and $170 per monthly session for Late Afternoon (2-hour Farm Camp day). Sessions are prorated in the event of holiday closures.
Full and partial scholarships are readily available! Email sharone@coastalrootsfarm.org for details.

Afterschool Program – Let your child learn and grow while expanding some of their excess energy after school.

This program allows working parents to have a place for their children in grades K-8 to go during the day to work on their school’s distance learning curriculum. Based on the CDC’s health and safety principles, children will have academic support, enhanced social interactions, and enriching activities that add to their distance learning experience. Students are responsible for providing their own technology devices, but the support and fun come from us!
All registrations will be immediately wait-listed and you will be alerted within 7 days if we can accommodate your child(ren). Once you are officially enrolled, you will be charged.
Learning Spaces
Looking for a safe & comfortable learning environment for your kids? Learning Spaces is partnered with Encore Creative Arts Camp to bring you a pool of Arts, Enrichment and Personal Development Programs. Onsite district teachers are also on hand to offer remedial tutoring programs for all classes. At this time we are developing the final curriculum of supplemental programs which take place between 3PM and 5PM daily upon completion of the official education day. It is available as a stand alone ‘camp’ or, when coupled with the Learning Spaces program, is significantly discounted as a bundle for just $75/wk. Once you complete the registration, we will contact you to discuss your desired activities which will be offered on a week to week basis.
Learning Spaces was designed 15 years ago as an alternative to the public school environment where kids can focus on learning using the current educational technology in commercial spaces. While designed to use national home school curriculum in a socialized “classroom”, the move to distance learning curriculum for public and private schools brings a whole new opportunity to give your children the best of all worlds.
They offer in-person learning to all, in a time where both public and private schools are not able to safely provide their programs. By design, the rooms are limited and distanced and allow for “pods” where kids are able to interact, socialize and learn without having to sit for 6+ hours in a mask. Multiple outdoor areas allow for interaction as well as group activities (something which kids are in desperate need of after many months of a sedentary and isolated lifestyle).
