Before and After School Care

Busy parents can take advantage of our child care from 6:30 to 8:00 a.m. and from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m. on school days, and from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on pre-determined non-school days. Whether you use the program on a regular basis to accommodate a work schedule, as needed when your child has sports or drama practice, or for the brand new study hall option, we are happy to have your family join us.

The before and after school care program is managed by Mrs. Penny Wright, our Early Childhood Education director. During morning hours, first-eighth grade students are together just outside of the ECE area. After school, the older students check in to the staff in the cafeteria and remain there as well as the playground and/or study hall, and younger students attend a recess outside on the preschool playground and attend Second Session games and activities in the ECE.

Study Hall
We’re excited to offer a study hall for grades 3-8 on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday afternoons from 3:30 to 4:15 p.m. Students will work upstairs in the 8th grade classroom, and a teacher will be present to answer homework questions. Study hall is a part of Child Care and the same fees apply.

School holidays
On non-school days, you must pre-register your child(ren) in advance to take advantage of the $35.00 charge. If your child attends and is NOT pre-registered, the charge will be $45.00. We prepare by staffing to accommodate the number of children pre-registered and if an unregistered child attends, unscheduled staff must be called in to accommodate the state licensing mandated ratios. We also ask that you send a ready-to-eat lunch (warm ups will not be available), drink, and utensils with your child on ALL non-school days as the cafeteria is closed and staffing is unavailable.

Fees and registration
The Cost for before and after school child care is $2 per half hour from 6:30-8 a.m. and from 3:30-6 p.m.

Late charges begin at 6:05 p.m. and are $10 per 10 minutes and every part of 10 minutes thereafter.

Child Care seeking donations
If you have games and/or toys in excellent condition, we’d love to have them to interchange with our selections. A wide and varied range of activities makes for a pleasant stay! Please call Mrs. Wright at 523-9298 if you would like to bring a donation in.
