The Before & After School Program is not an extended school day. Programming is based on the philosophy that children meet a varying amount of pressures during the school day and need time to unwind. Some children need physical activities, while others are tired and need quiet activities such as projects, games, or homework. Some may wish to spend time socializing with friends, while others need time to “do nothing” and just be a kid. Our goal is to meet the individual needs of the children.

We look forward to another safe and successful school year.
