After School Care (Grades K-8)
We offer a variety of educational and enrichment activities to help develop social skills, self-esteem, artistic skills, and physical fitness.
Additionally, the after-school care program includes dedicated homework time for students in grades 1-8, scheduled from Monday to Thursday.
Location
The Saint Agatha Childcare Program is housed in Saint Agatha School and Parish. The after-school Kindergarten program is housed in the room right off the main entrance. The program for grades 1-4, located in the school cafeteria, is an inviting atmosphere where children relax, play, and enjoy a snack. They also use the school gymnasium, school kitchen, Monsignor Kennedy Parish Hall, and classrooms for homework. Club 58 (grades 5-8) meets in a separate classroom.
Licensing and Staffing
The Saint Agatha Childcare Program is licensed by the Ohio Department of Education. Our lead teachers are college-degreed, and the entire staff meets the qualifications required by the State of Ohio. A person trained in first aid is on-site at all times. A teacher-child ratio of 1:12 is maintained in the Kindergarten childcare program. A teacher-child ratio of 1:18 is maintained in the after-school program for grades 1-8.
Hours of Operation
The childcare program operates Monday through Friday and follows the Saint Agatha School calendar. Our hours are from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Kindergarten through grade 8 students who attend Saint Agatha can enroll in after-school care.
Transportation
Parents transport students to Saint Agatha unless they have made other arrangements.
All Tremont students coming to childcare at 3:00 PM will be met by a Saint Agatha childcare staff member and escorted to Saint Agatha School. Wickliffe and Jones students are transported by the Upper Arlington bus service. Parents must make all other travel arrangements.
Snacks
A healthy snack will be provided daily for the children in all three after-school programs (Kindergarten, grades 1-4, and Club 58). Snack schedules are posted in the classroom.
Parent Communication
Parent communication happens by email, or by phone calls. In addition to informal discussions, a parent conference may be scheduled at any time.
