The Before and After School Care Program is available to all children in Grades
PreK-8 who attend The Academy of Our Lady of Peace. Children participating on a full-time or part-time basis are enrolled in the Program and Drop-in students are welcome, with 24 hour notice. The Program is designed to complement the philosophy of the School and support family values. We are committed to provide quality care in a loving, Christian environment.
The Before and After School Care Program provides professional care, supervision, recreational activities and much more. There is a set time for homework and snacks. Daily activities including art and indoor and outdoor games will be provided for the children. The Program is intended to foster the child's social, emotional and physical development in a safe, secure and stable atmosphere. Parents can be assured that their children are well cared for.
