See catalog for dates and locations
Monday – Friday 3pm – 6pm Location: Journey’s End Pre-K Location: The Little House (with 5 or more Pre-K students) At the discretion of the Director, Pre-K children may join older students for playtime activities.
PMFS offers a series of structured after-school activities that children can attend as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, the regular Ex-Day Program. Classes vary each trimester.
Ex-Day is a non-structured time for children to play while supervised both indoors and out. Building community, learning to care, and forging friendships are positive behaviors that are created in this multi-age grouping. Children enjoy playing games, reading books, and building structures with each other. A Weather-permitting, they enjoy each other’s company outside as well. A healthy snack is provided daily.
Registration and billing are by trimesters. A new End of Day/Enrollment Form must be completed each trimester to ensure that your child/ren’s end of day plans are updated.
Children are welcome to attend full time, part-time and on a drop-in basis. Divided into three trimesters (see dates in the left sidebar) for enrollment and billing, multiple sign-up periods allow for changing schedules and preferences.
Homework Help at Ex-Day Before-School Care Pre-K - 6: begins at 7:30am Located in Journey’s End Need to start the day a little early? Before-School Care is offered every day school is open, beginning at 7:30. At 7:45, Primary through sixth grade students depart for their classrooms, while Pre-K students remain until their teachers gather them for the start of the day. Before-School Care is free and registration is not required.
We have a staff member and a location dedicated to Homework Help, available at no additional cost to your child Monday through Thursday, 3pm to 4:30pm.
Need occasional Ex-Day? Children are welcome to attend Ex-Day any single day as a “drop-in.” To sign up for drop in, send in a note on the morning that your child will be dropping in to Ex-Day. Payment is due on the day of attendance and can be sent with your note or made at pick up.
