Afterschool & Extended Learning Programs

 

The demand for quality education and reliable childcare has never been higher. SCSD Extended Learning Programs serve as a vital space, addressing the unique needs of dual-income working families. Our facilities offer a safe and enriching environment where children can continue to learn, explore, and grow outside of traditional school hours. Having dedicated space for each of our programs is critical to its success.

For parents juggling the demands of their careers, extended-day programming provides a reassuring solution. It ensures that children receive not only academic support but also a range of engaging activities that promote social, emotional, and cognitive development. This dedicated space becomes a bridge between school and home, fostering a seamless transition that minimizes stress for both parents and children.

By offering extended hours of care and educational engagement, it eases the challenges faced by working parents, allowing them to pursue their professional aspirations without compromising on the quality of their children's education and well-being.

The San Carlos School District partners with several different providers for before and after school care. Below is some useful information with links to these organizations for a deeper knowledge and understanding of the programs and times being offered.

TK to Kindergarten Priority
We know it's important for families to have extended day help beyond the TK year, so we have partnered with the ACE Afterschool Program to give our TKELP students priority into ACE when they transition into Kindergarten the following year.
