Program Overview and Schedule

	Kids Club	Extended Care
Overview of Program	Kids Club is an optional after school program only (it is not open before school) which is an extension of the Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten program.  Students are guided in structured free play (e.g., building blocks, imaginative play, fine motor activities and games) and are encouraged to both play independently and interact with classmates.	Extended Care is an optional before school and after school program.  The goal of Extended Care is to provide a safe environment for students who need before school and/or after school care. Students are provided with study time for homework and free time to interact with friends.
Eligibility	Kids Club is offered to students enrolled in our ECL program at Our Lady of the Lake.	Extended Care is offered only to those students enrolled in Kindergarten through 8th grade at Our Lady of the Lake.
Schedule	Kids Club is available only on days when school is in session.  It is closed on all days that the school is closed as well as the first three days of school, the day we release for Christmas Break, Easter Break, Jr. Olympics and the last two days of school.	Extended Care is available on days when school is in session, as well as most weekdays when the school is closed (e.g., teacher in-service days, breaks, and summer vacation).  It is closed on most legal holidays.
Inclement Weather Policy	If school is closed due to inclement weather, then Kids Club is also closed. School closures will be communicated via our Remind text service . If school remains open, but the weather forecast includes rain or wind, be advised that children will still be taken outside for outdoor play. In these conditions, all children should be sent to school (and Kids Club) with a coat, hat, and appropriate shoes.	Extended Care hours during inclement weather will be communicated directly to those signed up on the sign-up-genius. If school remains open, but the weather forecast includes rain or wind, be advised that children will still be taken outside for outdoor play. In these conditions, all children should be sent to school (and Extended Care) with a coat, hat, and appropriate shoes.
Location	Both Kids Club and Extended Care are located on the ground level of the school’s southeast corner (accessed off of NE 89th Street).
Discipline	Discipline is handled by redirecting when needed and working with children to problem solve. Discipline follows the same philosophy set forth by Our Lady of the Lake School.
