2017-2018
VACATION CARE PROGRAM
GRADES PRE-K THROUGH 5TH
Wear pajamas to school? Feast on pancakes? Moon Bounce? If this doesn’t sound like school--you’re right! Explore the city, bake cookies, bowl, swim, watch movies, play with friends; these are all activities that children enjoy in the Vacation Care Program. Each day offers your child lots of opportunities for play, exploration, and creativity.
The Vacation Care Program will be open all days when school is closed except legal holidays, the Friday after Thanksgiving and specific days during winter break. This will include part of Winter Break and all of Spring Break. The actual days of coverage are listed below.
Early Opening: The Vacation Care Program will open at 7:30 a.m. and close at 6:00 p.m. (unless otherwise noted below)
Enrichment Program: Children choose from a variety of options each day. Some of the activities that the children have enjoyed are photography, theater, cooking, bowling, roller skating, ice skating, visits to area museums like the Franklin Institute and The Academy of Natural Sciences as well as all kinds of art activities.
