AfterCare Registration for 2024-2025 - Fall Semester
PDS offers an after-school care program from your son’s class dismissal time until 5:30pm for grades YK–6, the day-to-day runnings of which are handled by a trained staff consisting mostly of young adults and college students, who answer to the Director of Auxiliary Programs.
The children will be given a snack and engage in various organized and free-play activities both indoors and outdoors.
Boys in the Elementary division will have a period of supervised study and homework help during their day if it is needed.
All sign-ups are done online.
Sibing Stay
Since class dismissal times are staggered, Early Childhood students (YK-SK) who have an older sibling at PDS will be able to enroll in the program and attend AfterCare until the older sibling is dismissed. The younger sibling will be picked up by an AfterCare assistant at his specific dismissal time and join aftercare until his older sibling dismissal time. The parent is required to walk inside the main entrance and sign the younger sibling out of Sibling Stay BEFORE picking up the older sibling in carpool. The younger sibling will enjoy time on the playground or being inside with toys and activities during his time in Sibling Stay.
The cost for Early Childhood Sibling Stay is $400 per semester for 5 days a week and $240 per semester for 3 days a week.
Drop-Ins
Drop-in days are available to students who are not registered for aftercare. These days can be used as frequently as needed. Students will be sent to aftercare at school dismissal and must be picked up by 5:30pm. Please register your son in advance for a drop-in day.
The drop-in fee is $35 per day. Drop-in fees are billed monthly.
