Students from kindergarten through 8th grade can participate in our childcare program. Our Youth Wrap-Around Program provides school-age students a structured, safe, and familiar environment for doing homework, visiting with friends, relaxing and playing until their working parent arrives. Because we know your family schedule and needs are unique, we offer several care options. Students may attend only the Before School session, After School session or both Before & After School sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before School – 7:00 am – 8:15 pm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After School 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students have the option to purchase breakfast in the morning before school. A snack is provided for students in the After School session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer ChildCare<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

7:00 am – 5:30 pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer care is open to students ages 2-12 years old. Part-time or full-time care is available. Families must send lunch each day. A morning and afternoon snack is provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The summer childcare offers a variety of activities for the children to enjoy over the summer such as: swim lessons through Dowling Catholic High School Swim Program, movies, swimming, bike days, and weekly field trips.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
