Extended Day
The Glenelg Country School Extended Day Program philosophy is to provide a safe, supportive, and consistent environment for children to have fun, relax, create, converse, share, and explore. The program encourages imagination and creativity by providing a variety of resources and materials for arts and crafts, science and nature exploration, and construction. The release of pent-up energy and the development of fair play, self-reliance, and self-confidence are promoted through active play. In addition, there are supervised homework times, field trips, and snacks.
GCS offers the Extended Day Program before school beginning at 7:30 a.m. to students in Pre-Kindergarten through Fifth Grade. The Extended Day Program is offered after school until 6:00 p.m. in grades Pre-Kindergarten through Eighth Grade. The program is also offered on half days, on professional days and parent conference days as determined in advance. A special "School's Out" program is available in June between the close of School and the opening of Day Camp. Care is provided from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. during the School's Out program.
The GCS Extended Day program staff consists of a Director and team of teachers and assistants who are trained and experienced with working with our young children and their families.
