Extended Care
Extended Care is offered to parents of students grades PreKindergarten through five. Middle School students must be supervised after school during sports practices or at Homework Heaven in the Library.
Overview
The Extended Care program is a service offered within the Children’s School that is intended to accommodate families with busy schedules. Students on campus before 7:45 a.m. or after 3:15 p.m. are required to be enrolled in the Extended Care program, which is managed by the very same faculty and staff who know your child(ren) well. Due to a wide range of dietary needs and/or restrictions, parents must provide a health daily snack for their child. To ensure student safety, every adult assigned to staff the Extended Care program is certified in Standard Precautions/CPR/First Aid.
For the 2022-2023 school year, Morning Extended Care will be held from 7:00 to 7:45 a.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and from 7:00 to 8:45 a.m. on Wednesdays. Afternoon Extended Care will be held daily from 3:15 to 5:30 p.m.
Registration for Morning and Afternoon Extended Care is required. Due to limited availability, we cannot accommodate drop-in appointments.

Due to limited availability, we ask that you do your best to utilize care on the day for which you've registered.
NOTE: You will be billed based on usage and will not need to specify the time you will be picking up your child when you register for Extended Care. No-shows will be charged. Continuous no-shows may result in the loss of Extended Care privileges in consideration of the other community members who may need the service.
If a child is still at Afternoon Extended Care after 5:30 p.m. and a parent has not called, a staff member will remain with the child while attempting to notify all available contacts provided by the parent in FACTS. Other persons authorized to pick-up the child will be called and the Early Childhood Director will be notified. All families of children who remain in Afternoon Extended Care after 5:30 p.m. will be charged $1.00 per minute until they are picked up. Excessive late pick-ups will result in Extended Care being withdrawn.
