GMS provides after school care for enrolled
children of whose parents’work hours go beyond 3:00
p.m. This program is managed by our Head After School Care
Teacher, with the help of an assistant.
Toddlers and Primary age children in this program
will have a rest period unless they are in extended day.
Parents should provide a cover sheet for the resting mat (a
crib sheet
works well) and a small quilt or blanket for their child.
Other comfort items, such as favorite stuffed animal, may be
brought
for nap time use. All children must rest for a period of
time. Those who do not nap may get up after this rest period
and
do quiet activities.
In After School Care,
children will participate in planned activities such as cooking,
gardening, nature studies,
arts and crafts, sewing, music, and creative dramatics.
In addition, children will have individual time to read, create,
think, and play outdoors. The Montessori philosophy of
respect
and space for individual growth and development will be
integral to all activities in the program. An afternoon snack
will
be provided each day.
Remember that the school closes at 5:30
p.m.,
and all children must be picked up before then. Families
will be charged $1.00 per minute after 5:30 for late pick
up.
