The Blessed Sacrament After Care Program provides a  warm supportive environment for children from grades K-5 to play, do homework and relax in the after school hours. After Care is staffed by Blessed Sacrament teachers and paraprofessionals throughout the school. Children interact with students from many different grade levels. We believe that after the structure of their day, children flourish and learn by being together, problem solving, and simply being allowed to talk, play and enjoy each other's company. Outside play is a major part of our After Care time. The information below outlines how After Care can meet both parents and students after school care needs.

After Care is a PLAY DATE. After Care can be used for play dates. If you do not need a full-time program, students can come just on certain days with a friend or friends. 

After Care is an EMERGENCY CARE and TEMPORARY CARE program. If there is an emergency situation which requires that your child remain at school on a particular day, the After Care Program can provide care at short notice. In addition, if there is a need for temporary short term care (perhaps parents or other caregivers need to be out of town), After Care can be used just for a few days or weeks.

After Care is for WORKING PARENTS. The After Care Program provides care until 6:00pm Mon - Thurs and until 5:00pm on Friday for parents who work. Our program is reasonably priced, supervised by teachers and available on most full and half days. Daily snacks are provided. 

After Care allows for participants in OTHER SCHOOL SPONSORED ACTIVITIES. Students may come to After Care before or after going to other school sponsored activities.
