Before & After-School Programs

Our After School programs provide two additional layers of programming to support your child’s needs outside of the school day: ACE & Clubs. Please read below to understand the 2 separate programs. You will find a lot of great options for your child.

ACE After-School Care

Our school offers and manages its own program to care for our students before and after school hours. ACE includes a transition from the school day, snack time, homework help, and engaging, active, creative units and lessons linked to the themes and activities of the school program. All ACE activities are taught and supervised by our own ACE staff members who participate in trainings and professional development to ensure the ACE program operates with the same mission and core values as our outstanding school program.

Clubs provide an opportunity to extend learning from the school day for children.
