Supervised after-school care is available for students from 2:30-4:00pm Monday through Fridays for an additional fee. Students must be at least four years old to participate. Programming varies, depending upon the age of the student. Young children will participate in our Forest School After-Care Program, which is held entirely outdoors in our new nature classroom. Older children will participate in structured outdoor play, indoor sports and strategy games, plus designated study time for homework. All children will enjoy a nutritious snack provided by the school. Older children enrolled in after-school care may still participate in clubs during this time. Faculty and staff will facilitate club attendance; parents will simply pick-up students directly from after-care at 4pm. 

Roots & Reason: After-Care Program for Young Children (PreK to Grade 2)

Come get muddy, play in the creek, swing in the hammock, and learn the secrets of the forest. Little explorers will be guided by an experienced Forest School instructor who will share the beauty and excitement of the natural world. Let your little ones enjoy the physical and mental benefits of this immersive time outdoors. Students will be sent out rain or shine for all kinds of outdoor adventures. Learn to identify plants and trees, bugs and birds, all while making new friends and enjoying the pleasure of being outdoors. Children will enjoy a healthy snack and free play time as well as more structured activities such as stories, nature lessons, dramatic play, and crafts. 

Hearth & Quill: Supervised Study, Sports, & Free Play for Older Children (Grades 3 and above)

Come enjoy a relaxed, social gathering space with structured free play, sports, games, and supervised study time. Faculty are available to help with homework, and older students enjoy an extended time with friends. Students play team sports and other games such as basketball, chess, soccer, capture the flag, and dodge ball while learning teamwork and strategy. Quieter children may prefer to curl up with a book. All children will benefit from free time, a healthy snack, and a designated study period. Students may go outside for outdoor games and free play according to the season. Hearth & Quill is designed to provide children with much needed rest while also providing routine and structure, opportunities for play, and modeling good time management.
