after school program
An integral component of our school community, our after school program provides a comfortable place for children to spend time after school. Taking full advantage of our protected acre of land, experienced teachers create a dynamic environment that is fun and engaging and provides ample time for play.

Your child may choose from a wide variety of organized, age-appropriate activities such as:

  • team games
  • art and music
  • study hall
  • cooking
  • woodworking
  • gardening
  • community service projects
  • visits to the nearby Columbia Park Boys & Girls Club
  • enrichment classes

We offer a variety of flexible schedules to fit each family's needs. The after school program is available from school dismissal until 6 p.m. every day school is in session.

Preschoolers staying after 2:15 p.m. (school dismissal) remain in their individual classrooms until 4 p.m. (Leaping Lizards, Starfish, Tadpoles). At 4 p.m., they join the Butterfly after school class until 6 p.m. The after school preschool teaching team consists of seven teachers until 4 p.m.; three preschool teachers remain until 6 p.m.

After school teachers, with community and student volunteers and interns, provide a variety of indoor and outdoor options for students on an hourly basis after a period of supervised free play following class dismissal.
