Before and After Care

The Before and After Care school program is open to all students of Trinity Academy – not just children of working parents. The program provides a safe setting in the school building where students are supervised by faculty members and students from Caldwell University who are majoring in Education.

Please note, the morning program begins at 7:30 am in room #102 (on the main floor) and before care is free. Students enter through the side door of the school.

The afternoon program begins at dismissal time and ends at 6:00 pm. Children are grouped by grade level. Grades K-8 participate in a designated homework time.

Other highlights of the program:
- On most early dismissal days, Aftercare is in effect until 6:00 pm and students are to bring their own lunch.
- The gym, computer room and outside play areas are used. Children follow rules and regulations.
- We have plenty of puzzles, games, etc. for indoor play.
- Whenever possible, student enrichment programs are held in the school so after care children and their parents can elect to particpate. They can return to after care following the enrichment they have enrolled in.
Students enjoy the chance to socialize with friends from their own grades and to socialize with children from other grades. In this way, children can have a "sort-of" at-school playdate and polish their social skills.
