The St. Joseph’s RCS Extended Care Program (ECP) strives to provide students with a warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment while offering working families the valuable resource of affordable before/after care. Our Before Care program begins at 6:45 a.m. and After Care ends at 6:00 p.m. All students in grades Pre-K through 8th are welcome to attend. Our daily schedule includes afternoon snack (which is provided), outside play time or indoor activities in inclement weather, followed by a teacher-supervised study hall. As an additional resource, our credentialed and multilingual staff is fluent in Arabic, Bengali, English, French, and Spanish.
