One of our popular attractions at Cross & Crown School is the exceptional Extended Day Program, licensed by Bright from the Start (State of Georgia), offering before and after school care for our students. The superior care and instruction that children receive in our school is extremely prevalent in this feature.
Our Extended Day Program is a supervised time with lunch (brought from home); rest; enrichment activities such as Art, Science, Drama, Creative Movement and Multicultural Awareness; crafts, outdoor play and free choice activities.
Staffed by school faculty members, the Extended Day Program offers care from 7:00 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. The cost is $80/week (Kindergarten through 5th grade) and $90/week (Pre-School 2-4 Year Olds). A $7.50 per hour option is available. Your child is automatically enrolled in the Extended Day Program when they enroll in the school! However, there is no cost to you unless you need the service!
The program has been designed to be a learning and creative environment which your children will enjoy. Here is an example of the things we do:
➢ What’s Cooking?
The children will enjoy learning how to prepare and cook foods. Cookies, pizza, puddings, Jell-O, pies and other child-appropriate foods. Yum-yum!➢ “Fact or Theory” – Science
The children will discover and learn more about our world. Thechild-appropriate topics include: the seasons, space and planets, dinosaurs, water, plants, senses, the human body, chemical reactions and much more.➢ “To Be or Not To Be” – Drama & Literature
Teachers or grade age children read stories to the group. Activities include acting out stories and re-telling stories. A flannel board isused to act out some stories. The children will also have extension projects such as making puppets which relate to stories read.➢ Arts & Crafts
Children always love to make and create projects to take home. The typical projects include: painting, gluing, coloring, cutting and much more.➢ Free Play Time
With all the structure of school during the day, the children are allowed to enjoy personal time to play alone or with friends. This can be inside time at designated play areas or outside in the playground. This is prime time for a child to explore and expand his or her imagination.➢ Snack & Lunch Times
The school will provide snacks for the children. You will need to provide your children with daily lunches. Milk for preschool children’s lunches is provided by the school.➢ Who Lives With Me on Earth? Multicultural Activities
Each month a country or part of the world will be highlighted. The teachers will talk about different customs, foods, art, games and songs from each country.
