Going Back to School with Pearce Community Center
Jul 29, 2025 01:10PM ● By Megan Rupiper
Back-to-school season brings about numerous changes for kids and adults alike. One of the biggest changes with the back-to-school season is everyone’s daily routine. Many families enjoy a flexible schedule in the summertime. Back-to-school means getting back to a “set” schedule. Let Pearce Community Center become part of that new schedule.
Going back to school means many parents have an earlier start time to their workday than the kids are allowed to be dropped off for school. Did you know Pearce Community Center offers before-school care at both Pearce Community Center and Mossville School? Parents can drop their kids off as early as 6:30am.
Going back to school also means a change in your personal fitness routine. Depending on the individual, many parents enjoy starting their day off with a little exercise before they head off to work, knowing that the kids’ activities in the evenings are going to keep them busy. Did you know Pearce Community Center opens at 5:00am for those wanting to get their workout routine completed early in the day? We even offer group fitness classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 5:30am. For those who are now finding the flexibility in the midday time to focus on their fitness routine, Pearce Community Center offers daytime fitness classes weekdays from 8:30am–12:00pm.
New in 2025, Pearce Community Center started offering daytime programming for homeschool students. Fun programs are scheduled this fall for homeschool students to get some structured physical activity in their routine.
Once the school day lets out, many families are challenged with what to do with their kids until they get off work. Did you know Pearce Community Center offers after-school care? IVC school buses bring students from CEC, South School, and Mossville to Pearce Community Center for our after-school program. After-school care is available Monday-Friday until 6:00pm.
During the school year, do you ever wonder, “What do I do with my kids when they get out of school early or have a full day off school?” Pearce Community Center offers full and half-day school-out day camps. Kids will spend the day enjoying a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, swimming in our indoor pool, having fun with their friends, and so much more!
Fall is one of Pearce Community Center’s busiest seasons of the year. This fall will be no exception! We are excited to have many programs returning for families to enjoy plus the addition of new ones. In our youth league world, we are excited to be offering Soccer Express, Volleyball League, and Basketball League. In our youth fitness world, we are excited to be offering Hip Hop for Kids, Big Fun Gym, and Weightlifting for Teens. In our aquatics world, we are excited to be offering swim lessons. Additional programs we are excited to be offering are our Youth Dances and SafeSitter classes.
We hope you find your Back to School routine to include Pearce Community Center!
