The after-school yard is the “neighborhood” in our community, providing opportunities for outdoor free play with fellow K-6 students.

In addition to free play, childcare supervisors engage children in recreational games, board games, and crafts. On the occasional rainy day, childcare moves inside for indoor play and movies.

A supervised homework center is available for children who are in grades 1-6 in the childcare program. A snack is provided after 3 pm for children in childcare. Afternoon childcare is closed during school holidays and vacations, in addition to the Halloween Parade, Grandparents' + Special Friends' Day, and K-5 Closing Chapel.
