The Program exists to meet the needs of working parents and their children. It is planned in response to the developmental needs of the children being served and will overlap to some extent with both home and school and yet will have a separate identity. Since it uses that block of time between school and home, it will attempt to complement, rather than supplement, the school’s program. The daycare program has a flexible curriculum with appropriate activities to meet the developmental needs of the children and to support the family. Children will be encouraged to try new things and to relax as well. The program is designed to promote a positive self-concept in each child. The morning time will be a time for conversations, board games, reading, activities, completing homework and playing in an organized activity. The afternoon time is intended to allow children to have a snack (parent provided), talk about their day, participate in homework club or another club, participate in organized games and express their creativity in the arts. A sample outline of the time in daycare after school is as follows:

Before School:

7:15 AM - start of school  (8:15am) 

 After School:  

 End of day until 6:00pm Sharp!  

 NOTE: (Students should bring a packed lunch on half day dismissals)

*Weather permitting, we always encourage the students to go outside.

We do not encourage children to bring in their favorite toys/games from home. If you allow your child to do so, please label all personal items clearly as the program cannot be responsible.  All school policies must be followed.
