Extended Day Program

Overview

Overview

Our Extended Day program provides before and after school care for our students in any grade.

It begins with morning care from 6:45am until first bell at 7:30am and is supervised by our first grade teacher, Mrs Gottardo.  Children are welcome to work on homework (assistance is available), socialize, play games, read, etc.

Our after school care begins at dismissal and runs until 6pm each school day.

Students are welcome to take part in their after school extra curricular events and then complete their day in our extended day program.


Our after school care is supervised by a minimum of one adult coordinator for each 10 children.  Students in our after school care are welcome to work on their homework (homework assistance is available if needed), participate in our frequent STEM & craft group activities, play on our playground, with supervision (weather permitting), utilize our computers for homework or educational software, and enjoy the occasional popcorn and a movie!  Our after school program is flexible and allows each student to utilize their time in a way that is both productive and enjoyable.


All of our after school supervisors are background checked and VIRTUS trained.

Our after school facility is secure and parents/ guardians are only admitted into the building after visual confirmation.  We do not "buzz" anyone in using an intercom. Students are only released to an adult who has been prearranged to pick them up.

Our students are welcome to bring their own healthy snacks.

There is a $50 registration fee (for after school care only) to cover the costs of supplies for the year.

The hourly fee for our extended day is $6.00 an hour for the first child and siblings are an additional $5.00 per hour.  This is billed in 1/2 hour increments. A late fee of $10.00 per 5 minutes per child will automatically be charged after 6:00pm.

As a parent, you can relax and feel confident that your child is in the capable hands of our staff making productive use of their before and after school time.

Important Information

Important Information

Please be sure to sign your child out on the Extended Day Weekly Billing Form. This is very important for billing purposes. If you do not sign your child out you will automatically be charged until 6:00pm because we will have no other way of knowing when you picked up your child.

If someone shows up to pick up your child and they are not listed on the registration form or we have not received a note, you will receive a phone call in order for us to get your permission to release your child.
