Creative Kids Hands Mill Programs
After School & Summer Camp Club
A Fun and Educational Child Care Program in Clover, SC
After-School Programs Throughout The Year
Creative Kids offers after-school programs and a fun summer camp at our Hands Mill campus for year-round activity. During the school year, your child is welcome to participate in our After School Club and enjoy continued fun and learning. During the summer months, your child can pick up where they left off by participating in our adventurous Summer Camp.
“Creative Kids” – A STEAM Based Center
STEAM means we strengthen the foundation of STEM by helping kids enhance their critical thinking skills through the intersection of art, technology, and learning.
Where your child can be a creative kid! Where invention is encouraged!
Homework Done!
At our Creative Kids of Hands Mill campus, we know the importance of your child getting homework done for the day. Our team provides time, space, and assistance for your child to complete his or her daily homework assignments.
Sign your child up for “homework time” and we will check their agenda to ensure they are meeting their homework requirements. We’ll also coordinate any materials they may need to “get it done!” with success.

The Benefits and The Difference We Make
After-school programs offer a wealth of benefits for children, helping them grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Here are some key advantages:
Academic Support
Many programs provide homework help and tutoring, reinforcing classroom learning and reducing stress at home.
Social Development
Kids build friendships, learn teamwork, and develop communication skills in a structured, supportive environment.
Safety & Supervision
Programs keep children engaged in positive activities during the critical after-school hours, reducing the likelihood of risky behavior.
Confidence & Independence
By exploring new interests and overcoming challenges, children gain self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment.
Physical & Creative Enrichment
Many programs offer sports, arts, and STEM activities, encouraging kids to stay active and think creatively.
Support for Working Parents
Reliable after-school care provides peace of mind for parents, ensuring their children are in a safe and enriching environment.
Programs
We work with our students in age groups that are compatible to their school grade level. This provides our staff a concentrated focus on that particular age group. The programs within rotate to all the various areas of the facility. We have 10,000 sq. ft indoors and a huge expansive outdoor space that is a natural environment for our staff to closely supervise them as they free play and enjoy the great outdoors.

The Creative Café
We’re proud to encourage culinary skills at our after-school facilities. Our Creative Café at each location is focused on child nutrition. We give kids a safe space to write new recipes and explore different food groups. Children are allowed to learn about the basics of safety in the kitchen, food preparation, and the safe way to cook. Our Creative Cafe also allows children to enhance their taste by trying new foods that are healthy for them.
A snack break after school each day is not just snack time. It is planned by the Kids for the Kids… How Creative!
School Days Off
When the students are scheduled for an “out of school” day, we have fun workshops they can participate in like puppetry, drama, and culinary arts!
We are available to be your child’s home away from home.
These days are well planned, with activities and space to meet your child’s needs for the day.

Summer Camp at Hands Mill
Get your child ready for a season of fun! When school’s out for summer, Creative Kids Hands Mill switches into full summer camp mode! What an adventure!
Summer Camp starts with morning round-ups featuring games! Afterward, your child will enjoy a day of fun-filled activities. Each child will be given his or her own camp bag, tee shirt, and water bottle. Be sure to register early in the year to make sure we have space for your child.
