Extended Care is available for all children enrolled in Grace Episcopal School and is divided into three components: Morning Extended Care (7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.); Afternoon “Lunch Bunch” (Noon to 3:15 p.m.); and Evening Extended Care (3:15 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. or  3:15 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.).  Lunch Bunch is available only to Preschool and Junior Kindergarten students.  Extended Care options include full-time care, certain-day only care and when space is available, drop-in care. 

Afternoon Extended Care for children enrolled in the Early Childhood program is primarily free play.  We provide a nutritious hot lunch, followed by both indoor and outdoor play, and quiet and active activities.  Our staff finds that this is a special time to provide a relaxed atmosphere for the child who spends a majority of his/her waking hours out of the home.  Afternoon “Lunch Bunch” includes nap or quiet time.  For children in the elementary grades, Evening Extended Care may include homework time, free play, creative dramatics, cooking, table games, outdoor team games and a minimum of 20 minutes devoted to reading.  All ages in the Evening Extended Care  program receive a nutritious snack.     

Vacation Clubs and Summer Camp

To assist all enrolled families, we offer “Vacation Clubs”, a camp-like child care program during Christmas Vacation and Spring Break.  Our four-week June Jamboree summer camp, for children ages 3 through 11, provides a wide variety of exciting and enriching summertime activities in a safe, relaxed, and nurturing environment.
