• 2021-22 MCKINLEY CARE (TK/KINDER)

  • McKinley is proud to offer Before and After Care to our TK and Kinder families.

     ***The complete McKinley Care Handbook can be found here.***

     A typical day at McKinley Care might look like this:

    ● Students arrive and are signed in by a staff member. Students place their
    possessions in a cubby or other assigned place and are offered a quiet place to work on
    homework or play outside (weather permitting). Ipads are to stay in backpacks unless
    students arrange to do homework with staff permission.


    ● At approximately 2:45 will be snack time (family provided.) Students, if they
    have signed up, have the option of a structured activity such as Board Games, Art,
    Freeze Dance, uncompetitive games, or traditional games.


    ● The balance of the afternoon is spent with the continuation of the games,
    homework, free play, and social time with friends.

    ● On Fridays, minimum or rainy days a movie option may be available for kids who
    may be overstimulated.
