Program
Activities and Philosophy:
Our program serves up to 30 students daily. It is designed to be flexible and
to respond to the student’s need and interests. A varied choice of activities is offered, including
structured and non-structures activities. Structured activities include outdoor and indoor recreation,
art and craft activities, study and reading time, special projects, and enrichment programs. Students also
have plenty of opportunities for free time, during which they make use of board games, books, toys, puzzles and dress up clothes.
A nutritious snack is served daily. We will be sensitive to any special dietary needs of the children enrolled
that day.
Code of Behavior/Discipline Policy:
We expect students to be respectful to others and of property and to follow rules. A student
who is behaving inappropriately will receive warnings and/or “time out”. If inappropriate behavior does not change,
the parent(s) of the student who is misbehaving will be informed and asked to speak to the student. If improvement is not
evident, the program reserves the right to suspend the student from the program. In the case of suspension
or withdrawal, the parent(s) are required to meet their financial obligations to the program.
Calendar and Hours:
The program follows the St. Cecilia School calendar, beginning on the first day of school
in August and ending on the last full day of school in May. It is open for after school care every regular
school day. We will offer care from 2:15 until 6:00.
The program is closed on all school holidays and school emergency closing days.
Parents may pick up their children anytime during the program and must sign them out each day. Students will
only be released to persons so authorized. Parents should arrive with enough time to pick up
their child and leave the building by 6:00. Please allow time for your child to put away materials.
A late fee of $1.00 per minute will be charged for pick-ups after 6:00. If an emergency arises which
causes you to be late, please call the program, so then staff and your child can understand the situation and avoid unnecessary
worry. Staff will call your emergency contacts to pick up your child if you have not arrived by 6:15. Staff
will stay with your child until he/she is picked up. Late fees are due at pick-up.
Emergency Closing During a Regular School Day:
Occasionally school closes early because of an emergency. On bad weather
days, please listen to the radio for school closing information or call our number, 363-4314 . We will provide
emergency care as follows:
- If
school is dismissed earlier than normal for an emergency (snow or other), we will be in emergency session for a one hour grace
period while students are picked up. We will expect your child if this happens on a day when he/she normally attends.
We will call your emergency contacts listed on your registration form to pick up your child.
