Expanded Learning Program

The goal of the Expanded Learning Childcare Program is to provide a safe, engaging and nurturing environment for our students. Our program is based on the belief that children are decision-makers and may choose to participate in arts and crafts, organized games and sports, and other enriching and developmentally appropriate activities. Our program will also provide a safe space for social emotional learning and mindfulness. We have designated quiet time for students to work on homework, read, and work on a quiet activity. We emphasize that an environment in which everyone is “Safe-Respectful-Cooperative-Kind” supports our community.
