Before/After Care Program and Policies

Before Care (7:45-8:30am) and After Care (3:00-5:00pm) are available to families who need/want these options. Please note there are additional fees ($4.00/hour) for Before Care and After Care.

Should you choose Before and/or After Care options, we request that you fill out a “Before/After Care Contract,” so that we may help you figure your monthly payment for this additional care.

Please make every effort to pick up your child no later than 5:00pm. It may look as if many children are still at school after that time but they are typically the staff’s children. Staff members have appointments and family commitments after 5:00pm. There will be a fee of $20 assessed on pick-ups after 5:00pm. Half-day primary students should be picked up by 11:30am unless other arrangements have been made.

Some families may not need the Before or After Care options on a regular basis, but may find they would like to use these options once-in-a-while. In this case, they should fill out the “Occasional Before/After Care Form” and place it in the gold tuition box with payment when they make use of this service.

“It is necessary, then, to give the child the possibility of developing according to the laws of his nature, so that he can become strong, and having become strong, can do even more than we dared hope for him.”
