Welcome to our Out of School Care Program!
We offer fully licensed Out of School Care at St. Sebastian School in Lake Chaparral for children in Grades 1 through 6 attending St. Sebastian School. We also offer fully licensed Kindercare and Out of School Care at St. Gianna in Auburn Bay and at Our Lady of the Evergreens in Evergreen for children in Grades K through 6 attending those schools.
Our Philosophy
The philosophy of our Out of School Care program is based on the belief that all children deserve to feel safe, both physically and emotionally. They should feel accepted, respected, and cared for at all times, regardless of age, culture or background.
Our Out of School Care program incorporates both group and individual activities designed to keep them engaged and entertained. Our activities, both structured and unstructured, will help encourage and support the development of their self-esteem, self-discipline and cooperation. A variety of interest centers will be used and the children will also participate in outdoor recreational opportunities.
