Before & After School Care

Slime making

Kindergarten through fifth grade students currently enrolled at PCS have a safe and fun place to stay with our Before & After School Program.

Our program offers a variety of activities, including crafts, games, athletics, play time, and dedicated homework time.


Before-school care is available starting at 6:30 am, allowing students to be dropped off early. At 8:00 am, students join their classmates on the playground until the bell rings for class.

After-school care begins when school dismisses at 3:00 pm and is open until 6:00 pm.

Our Before & After School Care is operated out of our Early Childhood Education Program at 11845 SE Market Street.
