Umbrella Family at Lincoln Alexander
Our program at Lincoln Alexander, which opened in 1989, provides child care services to children who are 3.8 (3 years, 8 months) to 12 years of age, Monday to Friday, all through the year including programs for children during school break periods (Christmas, March Break, July and august) and programs on PA Days and Learning Community Days.
Programs for School Age Children
Care for children who are 6 – 12 years of age
| Before & After School | Child care services are available from 7:30 am until the morning school bell rings, and again at the end of the day from the time the dismissal bell rings until 6:00 pm. |
| Learning Community Days | Throughout the school year, children are occasionally dismissed early so that school teaching staff members may participate in professional development activities. Child care services are available as soon as the children are dismissed from their classes |
|
PA Days
& Camp Programs |
A full-day program is available for children on PA Days and during March Break, July and August and Christmas Break. Typically, field trips are planned for PA Days and at least 2x per Week during March Break and July/August. |
Curriculum
Developmentally appropriate activities—indoors and outside, too—are planned and implemented based on the observations of qualified early childhood educators/experienced staff members. The interests of children guide educators in determining the wide range of resources required to extend learning, while promoting the development of new skills.
Snacks/Lunch
Children are provided with nutritious snacks each morning (before the school bell rings until approximately 8:15 am) and after school each day. Snack menus are posted on the Parent Information Board and are also available to parents through newsletters and this website.
