2026-2027 After Care (3:00 - 5:30)
After Care is an after-school program that provides a nurturing environment for K2-6th-grade students. This service allows students to remain on campus after school dismissal until one of our convenient pick-up times. After Care is available to LCS preschool and elementary students.
Preschool After Care (K2)
Since the K2 Program is licensed under the Mississippi Department of Health, the students will remain in their assigned classroom with approved K2 teachers and assistants. Contact the Preschool Director to discuss specific needs for After Care (3:00 - 5:30).
Preschool After Care (K3-K4)
Students in After Care will be cared for by an LCS preschool teacher and assistant. They will remain in the preschool classroom. Students are provided with a snack and time to relax after the school day. Students will go outside to play (weather permitting) or engage in activities and/or indoor games. Examples of activities include outdoor play, learning centers, movies, and arts and crafts.
Supplies:
- Change of clothes in gallon-size bag.
- Washable nap-mat with pillow. Blanket if needed.
- Water bottle
The water bottle and nap mat will be sent home on Friday for cleaning. Please return to school on Monday.
