Is there after-school on half days and school holidays?
If school is open, after-school is open, including half days. On half days, our staff are present at school dismissal (usually around noon) to run special activities with the children until 3:30 pm, when normal after-school programming resumes. We do recommend that parents who do not need the childcare on those days pick up their children at noon. These are long days, and our program does not have access to most of the school facilities, particularly during parent-teacher conferences. Students who are not enrolled in the program for a day on which a half day occurs are not permitted to attend as an “extra day.” The after-school program is not open during holidays or DOE school closing days, but we do offer a series of “Vacation Camps” during Winter Recess (December), Midwinter Recess (February) and Spring Break (April). These camps are not included in after-school tuition. For more information, please click here.
