Extended Day
At St. Michael’s, our Extended Care program lives up to its name: we provide an extension of the same care our students get in their classrooms for those before and after school hours. Rooted in the values of community, care, and curiosity, our program supports families by offering consistent, high-quality care before and after school.
Program Overview
Extended Care offers students the opportunity to learn, play, and connect. It is staffed by our regular teachers and administrators in addition to a few fantastic local college students. Our staff sees it as their goal to make sure every child feels seen and supported. They consider it a joy to watch the kids grow and hit developmental milestones!
- Available for Infants through 6th Grade
- Before and After Care options available
- Daily routines include indoor and outdoor play, enrichment activities, and time for homework, required reading or quiet reflection. A light afternoon snack is provided during after care.
Our Extended Care program thrives because of the strong partnerships between families and staff. We value open communication and are always happy to answer questions, hear ideas, or help plan for your family’s care needs.

Adventure Club
Adventure Club provides care to students typically during our winter and spring breaks, usually for one week. Children enrolled in Adventure Club participate in a wide variety of activities including arts and crafts, games, dramatic play, stories, movies, time outdoors and field trips. Parents will receive notice of upcoming Adventure Clubs via our family newsletter. Space is limited and advance registration is required. The Adventure Club fee is not included in tuition.

After School Clubs
Our After-School Clubs program invites adults from our community to share their unique skills and passions with students—modeling the joy of lifelong learning and exploration. Each club runs for eight weeks, meeting once a week after school for an hour and a half. Students have the opportunity to try something new, develop their interests, and connect with mentors who are enthusiastic about their craft.
This fall, our clubs include Gymnastics, Taekwondo, and Dungeons & Dragons—offering a mix of physical activity, discipline, creativity, and imagination.
