Trailblazers
What is Trailblazers?
Trailblazers is our program for school-age children in kindergarten through 12 years of age. We recognize the challenge working parents face to find a program that keeps their children safe and engaged. Trailblazers is all of that and so much more.
We provide parents with flexible options, excellent care, and peace of mind so they can be effective in their workplace. With kids in mind, Trailblazers activities are both fun and meaningful.

Bus Safety
We take the responsibility of safely transporting children to and from school very seriously. Our drivers receive biannual training in transportation safety that exceeds state licensing requirements, and their driving records are reviewed regularly. We believe that transportation safety is everyone’s job, so we teach children how to conduct themselves on the bus and encourage them to take responsibility for choices.
Our brand-new, state-of-the-art buses include the following safety features:
- High back seats with three-point lap and shoulder belts
- Back up camera system
- 3 emergency exits
- Upgraded braking system
- Meets all National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) safety standards
- Altoona Tested and approved
