AFTER SCHOOL CARE

After School Care

The After School Care Program is designed to meet the needs of school-age children while their parents are at work or involved in other activities. This program is structured to provide children with a place to be that is safe and nurturing. The children in this program are encouraged to choose between various activities that provide for recreation, individual creativity, and diversity. Arts, crafts, table games, and “building” are just a few of the options. Of course, the “all-time-favorite” is the time made available for homework. Children may bring a snack of their choosing. As with school lunches, we encourage this to be a healthy snack.

NAP MAT

Nap Mat – Every child in Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten using the daycare services must bring a nap mat purchased in the below link. This will enable the child to use the same mat from Preschool through Kindergarten. It is important that it be 50", have an attached pillow, blanket, and closure (usually velcro). Any color or design is acceptable. VIEW AMAZON for an example nap mat.


OTHER

  • Stuffed animals and other naptime toys are not allowed.

  • If your child is staying past 3:15 p.m., be sure they have a lunch for noon and a separate snack for afternoon.

  • Be sure your child has clothing appropriate for the weather (i.e. jacket, sweater, boots etc.)  We like to go outside often.

  • AFTER SCHOOL CARE FORM

    We strongly encourage parents to complete the “After School Care Schedule” to facilitate SLA staff in directing children at the end of the each school day. If we know who is expected to stay in After School Care, we are able to let the teacher know who to send to After School Care at dismissal time.

  • FINANCIAL INFORMATION

    Payments will be processed through a student's FACTS account, only AFTER using the After School Care Program

    Completing the schedule does NOT obligate the use of the After School Care Program, or payment of fees so long as the child is picked up by the end of dismissal.

  • PAYMENTS

    All payments are processed online through the FACTS only after using the After School Care Program.
