Our Expanded Learning Programs

Our programs provide engaging, hands-on learning opportunities in a fun and supportive environment for school-age children.

Before & After School Programs

Designed specifically for elementary school students, these programs offer age-appropriate activities in a safe, secure environment that allows children to learn, play, and grow. Before school programs begin 1.5 hours before the regular school day and continue after school until 6:00 p.m. daily.

After School only Programs

All Expanded Learning Programs begin immediately after the regular school day ends (including minimum days) and operate until 6:00 p.m.
Students receive more than 15 hours of Expanded Learning programming each week.

Transitional Kindergarten (TK) Programs

Expanded Learning for TK students begins right after their regular classroom day ends. Programs maintain a student-to-staff ratio of 10:1 or better, ensuring a safe and supportive environment tailored to younger learners.
