Before & After School Care

Overview

Our Lady of the Lake Parish School realizes that many families require additional care for their children throughout the school year. We are pleased to make such services available to families and students by offering two programs:

Kids Club which is our after-school care (only) program for students in Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten
(12:30-3:00 pm).
Extended Care (XCare) which is our before- and after-school care program for students in Kindergarten through
8th Grade (7:00-8:15 am and after school until 6:00 pm).

In addition, Our Lady of the Lake provides full-day Extended Care on "no school" days, during Christmas and Spring Breaks, and over the Summer.

Our Kids Club space has been licensed as a Child Care facility through the Washington State Department of Child, Youth, and Families (DCYF) since April 2022. This designation ensures that our program meets the highest standards of child safety, health, and development.

Hours and Scheduling

Kids Club is scheduled through a monthly jot form that is sent out one week prior to the start of that month.

To schedule your child for a day at XCare please use this sign-up genius. If a particular day is full, then you can email Vickie.

It is very important that Kids Club and Extended Care have an accurate count of the number of students enrolled each day. In case of changes, please update your schedule as soon as possible.

Scheduling	Parents can sign up their child for Kids Club one week prior to the upcoming month. A Jot Form will be sent out where parents may choose how many days per week they will be using Kids club and pay for the upcoming month. Using Kids club on a drop-in basis is fine if there are spots available. Please contact the school office to check if there is space. Drop in fee is $30 per day.	Parents can schedule or update reservations through the sign-up genius. Using Extended Care on a drop-in basis is fine, even on short notice (e.g., parent running late due to a meeting or traffic), if there are spots available. Please contact Vickie as soon as you know you will need care so she can check spots. Students do not need to preregister for Extended Care to use this program, though the hourly rate is higher for non-registered students.
