After Care Program Grades Pre K to 8

After Care is a program designed to help families who need a safe and familiar place to send their children after school.  Whether you are a working family, busy with extra household chores or just need to run a few errands, After Care is there to help. No matter the reason that your child requires After Care, you can be assured that he or she is being cared for in a safe and nurturing atmosphere. All students are offered help with homework at After Care. During their stay there is ample time for them to socialize, play games, read and study. At After Care your child will be under the supervision of at least two or more qualified, dedicated staff and/or faculty members. After Care is a safe and reasonably priced alternative to hiring a babysitter with the added bonus of homework help. Children are asked to bring a healthy nut free snack and a small drink.


* Hot lunch is not served on half days. Please send children to school with nut free lunch on these days.
