Extended Care
Extended Care is a program for students who need before and/or after school care. The program is designed to offer children an array of enrichment and recreational activities that make their experience with us a positive, educational and fun extension of school in a supervised, safe, secure and familiar environment.
Extended Care has a balance of free play and organized activities. From approximately 3:30 to 4:30, we offer an organized inside and outside activity, as well as a "Quiet Zone" for homework and quiet reading. Free play is available for all after the organized activities are over. Snack is served around 3:30 pm.
Snack is provided every day around 3:20 pm.
