After-School Programs

Our Parent Coordinator, Jocelyn, maintains information year-to-year regarding After-School Program options that may be of interest to families. These program providers pick up Earth School students from school and bring them to the after-school site. 

In most cases, program providers open up their registration at the end of the summer. Some of the programs are first-come, first-serve. Some programs may fill up and maintain waitlists. 

If the programs below do not have availability for your child(ren), please reach out to Jocelyn (jocelyn@theearthschool.org), and she is happy to assist you in finding additional options.
