After School Program

Aftercare is offered for students in grades K–6 every day after school until 5:30 pm except on days with an Early Dismissal, when it will not be offered at all.  Any other exceptions to this will be publicized ahead of time. 

At Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School there is a qualified staff dedicated to serving the needs of parents and children.  The program builds spirit, fosters self-esteem and a sense of warmth and belonging.

Procedures

• Students assemble in the Kindergarten classroom after dismissal.

• If desired, a change of clothing is allowed by the students.

• Snacks are provided. You may send your own snack if you prefer.

• Activities are conducted until 4:00 p.m. Children may go outside (weather permitting), go to the gym or stay in the classroom with toys or games.

• A supervised homework session begins shortly after 4:00 p.m. for those staying until 4:30 or later.

Although Aftercare is offered on an as-needed basis, those families using it on a regular basis are asked to fill out a registration form and return it.  If you do not use Aftercare regularly, please send a note with your child, or if really last minute, call the school (610-588-2629) and inform them of your child’s needs for afterschool care.  Please state in your communication the day your child(ren) will be participating in Aftercare and the approximate time you expect to pick them up.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Aftercare Program is a non-profit organization which meets all its operating expenses through tuition payments.  Our goal is to keep costs to a minimum and maintain a quality program.  Parents are responsible for tuition every week as stated on the signed registration form/parent agreement.
