Our AfterCare Program
K-8 AfterCare
AfterCare for Grades K-8 is offered Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 2:10 - 5:30 pm, Wednesday 1:10 - 5:30 pm, and Fridays from 1:30 - 5:30 pm for all students in the Greater Portland Area (to see where transportation is available from click here). Our hours accommodate early release schedules for both Breakwater School and Portland Public Elementary Schools. Families can register for 6-8 week packages throughout the school year
Upon arrival, students check in with an AfterCare staff and meet their friends in the ‘Hive’ (after school classroom) for an afternoon of exploring and creating through a variety of activities. Breakwater provides snack 3:30-3:45 everyday. During the afternoon, students can choose to join a game on the field or playground, take part in the daily art project, build with legos and blocks in our building zone, or find a quiet space to do their homework or read a book. AfterCare combines the perfect balance of structured activity options and open ended play. Students enrolled in an after school enrichment class can register for AfterCare before or after their class.
If you have questions regarding AfterCare please contact Amy Pichette, Enrichment Director.
