The Extended Care program is structured to be consistent with the educational goals and philosophy of the school and follows the same health and safety protocols used in the classrooms. The program provides a nurturing atmosphere for students in the transition time between school and home. Opportunities and direction are given for a variety of individual/group, self-directed/structured, quiet/active, spontaneous/planned, and indoor/outdoor activities. Students are given guidance and support as needed for completing homework, exploring creatively, and playing cooperatively. Midway through the afternoon, a snack is provided.
