Does Bowman offer before and after school care?
Bowman provides an “extended school day” that is more flexible and enriching than many “before and after school care programs” at other schools. Children can arrive at Bowman as early as 7:30 in the morning before school starts at 8:30. Children who stay at school past 3:30 PM have additional opportunities for work and play. The After School Program is staffed by regular members of Bowman staff and offers planned curricular and enrichment activities until 6:00 PM. In addition, many parents lead clubs or short-term instruction on a wide-variety of subjects during the After School Program hours. Unlike many public and independent schools, Bowman does not ask parents to commit to a routine schedule for this extended day use or charge parents additional fees for this service. All daily activities at Bowman are covered through the monthly tuition. This can save families thousands of dollars a year in childcare fees.
