We offer a variety of after-school programs for PreK-12th grade students that extend until 5:45 pm each day.
This includes Stay & Play (for PreK students only), Before/After Care for PreK-8th, Bennett & Beyond enrichment programs for SK-4th, and Clubs and Athletics for 5th-12th.
Find more information about each specific program below.
- Begins at 11:30 am
- Available Monday through Friday when school is in session
- Only available for PreK students
- Students who participate in Stay & Play will remain in their classroom for lunch, enjoy a recess time, story time, nap time, and open play.
Ends at 2:45 pm- At this time, students can be picked up or transition to After Care, if registered.
Students will remain in their assigned classroom for Stay & Play, and the program will be supervised by the Apprentice and Lead teachers. Maintaining consistency is valuable for the transitioning PreK students, and the staffing of this extended day program is designed with that need in mind. We strongly encourage families to use Stay & Play in a consistent manner; choose the days your child will attend on a trimester basis to help them build a predictable routine and expectation for his/her school week.
This program does require an additional fee and may be considered as part of a grant or scholarship should the student qualify.

BeforeCare is available daily from 7:30 – 8:00 am. After Care Block 1 includes a snack and runs from 3:15 – 4:30 pm. After Care Block 2 runs from 4:30 pm to 5:45 pm.

Bennett & Beyond (B&B) provides opportunities for SK-4th grade students to dig deep into activities and special interests at the end of the school day. While they are in alignment with our philosophy and approach, they also offer opportunities to explore areas that are not a part of the daily Bennett experience. New B&B classes are offered each trimester.
Bennett & Beyond ends at 4:30 pm, additional After Care is available until 5:45 pm.
