Welcome to the 2010-2011 After and Before Care program (ABC).
ABC is an extended childcare program for students Preschool through 8th grade. ABC is provided to Academy families only, and is staffed by Academy teachers and other qualified persons. Parents can rest assured that their children will be cared for by a staff who specialize in education, bringing their exceptional experience working with the Academy’s student body to the program.
ABC begins the first day of school (September 7) and ends the afternoon of the last full day of school (June 8). You must fill out the online form before your child can attend ABC. We encourage all families to fill out the registration form just in case a need may arise.
In an effort to serve our families best, we will be offering a variety of service packages with flexible time tables and payment options.

During Morning ABC your child may bring a snack and will engage in quiet activities such as reading, studying, board games or puzzles.
PM Service
Afternoon ABC will consist of a snack (provided by ABC), homework help, arts and crafts, games, recess and themed activities and clubs.
