After School Programs

Our Parent Coordinator, Jocelyn, has compiled information regarding After School Program options that may be of interest to families for the 2023-2024 school year. Some of the programs are first-come, first-serve. Some programs may fill up and maintain waitlists. 

If the programs below do not have availability for your child(ren), please reach out to Jocelyn (jocelyn@theearthschool.org), and she is happy to assist you in finding additional options.

Great for Pre-K through 3rd-Grade: Green Apple Kids

All Pre-K students will be accepted for interested families.

*Due to limitations of construction in the building and sharing space with 2 other after-schools, we are gearing our program towards PK through 3rd grade.

 

We will have some seats for returning 4th/5th grade students (especially with younger incoming siblings) due to space limitations most of the time spent will be in the classroom. We will provide homework help and some light cooking.


If your child requires more movement (as they should) please see the other after-school options listed in this email. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We look forward to construction being completed so that we may again welcome all students into the program. Thank you in advance for understanding.

 

Here is the registration form for families who are interested in being a part of the Green Apple Kids After School program. 

We offer full or partial scholarships to qualifying families.

*You do not need to apply if you've already done so.
