Extended Care

MCS offers before and afterschool care options for all MCS students. Hours and fees for these options are listed below. For families interested in the before and afterschool programs at MCS, you will have the option during the enrollment process to choose the days of the week for which you will need care. Additionally, if your child is staying after school, please select the pickup time that works best for you, 4:30 or 5:45. By providing this flexibility, MCS hopes to be able to meet the needs of all MCS families and, by offering enrollment in just what is needed, make these programs as affordable as possible.

In addition to all students having the option to lengthen their day with before and afterschool options, students in the Primary Program through the Adolescent Program will be offered Afterschool Enrichment classes that run from the end of the student’s day until 4:30. We offer multiple sessions throughout the year. Offerings change every session—view a sample schedule from a past session. Students who participate in Afterschool Enrichment classes and need care after 4:30 will have the option to enroll in the Extended Day program which runs until 5:45.
