Students are invited to come between 8:30 – 9:00 AM to play and prepare for the start of their day. This additional time is complimentary and included in tuition.
At 2:30 begins our extended day program. Free Kids Academy will host various educators and offer special enrichment programs throughout the year. Your child may stay as little as one day a week or be there for all five days. This programming is available for an additional cost.
Extended Day Enrichment Program
The time for extended day is 2:30-4:00 every day. If an event begins at 3:00, your child will have snack and free play time until then. You may sign up for any number of days you attend but must commit to a session which lasts 8-9 weeks. If there is additional room in the club, you can attend on an “off” day. If further space is present, we may open the club to the community.
You can sign up for both robotic clubs and your child will be doing different activities.
On parent showcase days, extended day care is still available, but we will have a short presentation or display to share students’ accomplishments. More details on the specifics for each club will be forthcoming. Students that need extended day, but do not wish to participate in an enrichment club can still attend and enjoy free play supervised by a staff member. Session pricing is the same.
