Before & After School

A Place to Grow: Learning and fun continue beyond the school day

Our Before & After School Programs offer students enriching opportunities for discovery and exploration before and after the normal school day hours. These programs provide numerous options for fun while also reinforcing the essential lessons and values taught throughout the school day.

From the simple pleasures of sports and games to the more complex STEM and engineering projects – students will receive a one-of-a-kind experience they’ll look forward to each day.

Clubs & Enrichment

Our Clubs and Enrichment Programs are great ways for your child to expand on their interests or pursue new passions. These can be added in conjunction with our Extended Day Program or independently. This program offers families an opportunity to enroll their student in one or more days of after school activities without leaving the convenience of our campus.

Extended Day

Our Extended Day program allows busy working families the flexibility to drop-off before the school day starts and pick-up after the normal dismissal time. Our program is organized into five subject areas that are designed to provide your child with opportunities to learn valuable life skills, and to reinforce the skills they’re learning during the school day, while providing plenty of time for fun with friends.

Hours:
Before School Care: 7:15 AM until the school day begins
After School Care: Begins when the school day ends until 5:45 PM

Extended Day, or Club Eagle, is run by Ms. Joy Sonntag and takes place on the Park Maitland campus in the Arts & Athletics Center and outdoor spaces. Parents must register in advance so the appropriate information is available to assure student safety. Program charges (whether full-time or daily use) will be billed and will appear on your monthly statement.

Parker’s Pals is available to our lower grades to fill the gap in time between the first and second daily dismissals. Supervised by Park Maitland teachers, Parker’s Pals meets in the lunch area outside the upper grades’ science rooms. During this time, students start on their homework and discuss the day’s lessons with peers while they wait for older siblings or carpool. It is free of charge but prior registration is required.

    Some students appreciate the chance for independent activities or study after a long day at school. We provide a quiet place to work on homework, read, journal, or seek academic support from peers and teachers. Students can also work on various projects in this small group setting.
