After Care Program

​

Each grade is separate, overseen by a team of staff, and has a specific age-appropriate curriculum. During the program, the children work on their homework, socialize, have a snack, and engage in enrichment and outside activities. The overall atmosphere is always caring, relaxing, and safe.

​

Please note that the After Care Program is not open the day before Thanksgiving or on the last day of school. No drop-ins are available for After Care.
 

Snacks


After Care provides a light snack each day. Saltines and graham crackers are offered each day, along with a "snack of the day” (e.g., popcorn, goldfish, cheez-its, cheese and crackers, nutri-grain bars, pretzels, yogurt, cheese sticks) and a fruit or vegetable choice (e.g., apples, pears, oranges, frozen mixed fruit, apple sauce, carrots, salad). The children also have the option of bringing their own healthy snack from home.

​

Outdoor Time

Outside time is an integral part of the After Care Program to ensure the children get fresh air and exercise. All grades have outdoor time during the entire school year, weather permitting, so it is important that the children have appropriate dress for the season, both warm and cold. The program uses both the blue and green playgrounds at Wellington, as well as Underwood Park.
