The After School Program

 The After School Program is an eco-friendly, active learning, and healthy-living zone. We provide a wide range of activities from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm, as well as on professional development days, conference days, and early dismissal days.

For the 2023-2024 school year, students must be signed-up and registered for 2 to 5 days a week of care. 

For more details, email Amy Fiske, our Director of After-School Programs. 

MISSION AND VISION


The After School Program strives to:

  • Provide a safe and fun environment
  • Engage students in both teacher-led activities and student-led exploration
  • Respond to and develop programming based on students’ interests and curiosities
  • Help students develop new skills
  • Foster creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills
  • Model the values of stewardship, peace, respect, humility friendship and honesty


ACTIVITIES

The After School Program provides a safe and secure environment filled with various enrichment learning opportunities for students, including activities to engage their bodies, minds, and creative spirit. Below are some typical activities.




Let’s Move:
This is the time for our students to move and stretch their bodies through outdoor play. In inclement weather, teacher-led games and activities take place in the gym, music room, and within our ASP space. We also offer the option of a quiet homework room. 

During this portion of our program, students enjoy the healthy and wholesome snack they brought from home. PLEASE REMEMBER TO PACK YOUR CHILDREN THIS EXTRA SNACK ON THE DAYS THEY ARE SCHEDULED TO ATTEND ASP.  

Let’s Explore and Learn:
During this time, students are given the choice to join teacher-led activities or take part in self-guided exploration in our Free Art Area, Building Area or select a book to read. Students can also choose this time to complete any homework assignments.

Let’s Wind Down:
Our day ends with a Wind Down period of indoor games and activities or, weather permitting, out-door play.


Parents may request that their children complete homework during the After School Program. We provide a quiet area and a staff member oversees work, and the student takes primary responsibility for completing his/her assignments. If further academic support is needed, parent can connect with  our tutoring program. *


* Students in Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten have their own Let’s Move! and Enrichment activities, and re-join the larger student group for the Wind Down or special whole-group activities.
