After Care Program

Overview

The After Care program is open to pre-school – 5th graders who attend TCS. The goal of the program is to provide a caring, secure, Christian atmosphere for children whose parents need a later pick-up time. Materials and equipment will be available for the purpose of providing both quiet and active play suitable to the age levels and abilities of the children.

The hours of operation are 3:00-6:00 p.m. whenever TCS has a full day session. There is no cost for registration. Any student may register and use the program on a regular or occasional basis. There are no additional fees for snacks or supplies. In an effort to benefit all families and lessen the cost of care for those families with multiply children, the fees for After Care will be as follows:

  • Pre-school and PK - Is included in the tuition payment.
  • K-6th is $1.00 per quarter hour per child up to the daily maximum rate.
  • Families with one child pay a maximum of $10 per day or $50 per week.
  • Families with two children pay a maximum of $18 per day or $90 per week.
  • Families with three children pay a maximum of $25 per day or $125 per week.
  • Families with four children pay a maximum of $30 per day or $150 per week.

Safe Care

Safe Care was developed to assist parents who are struggling with the 3:30 after school pick up time. Parents may purchase punch cards, in $5.00 increments, from After Care personnel. Present a card between the times of 3:30 and 3:40 and a late pick up charge of $1.00 per child will be punched out of the card; there will be no other fee.

Safe Care is an extension of carpool and pick up procedures are the same as for carpool. Please be aware that Safe Care punch cards need to be bought in advance. Without a punch card a pick up after 3:30 will be billed to your tuition account at a rate of $5.00 plus $1.00 for every additional quarter hour. This is a per child rate.

Enrollment in After Care is not necessary in order to access Safe Care. Children left with Safe Care will not be entered into After Care until 3:40. Until that time children will be kept safe, but there will be no structured program.
