Before and After Care

We offer before and after care Monday-Friday, from 7:30-9:30 a.m. and 2:30-5:30 p.m. when school is in session. Children play in the school gym or on the playground, depending on the weather. Inside activities range from bicycle riding to crafts, and snacks are provided as well.

Many of our regular classroom teachers also teach in the before and after care program — giving our preschoolers a continuum of care throughout the day.

Tuition for before and after care can be paid on a monthly or weekly basis.
