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.Enrollment
