Our dynamic CajunCare Program is an extension of the experience we cultivate daily at Country Day. Through CajunCare, students continue to learn through a variety of fun, hands-on, age-appropriate activities, while you complete your busy day. (CajunCare covers what was once known as Aftercare, Extended Day Programs (EDP), Conference Care, and the Early Bird Program.)

List of 3 items.

  • CajunCare Mornings

    Monday through Friday before-school care is available for lower school students from 7:15 am until the school day begins. Students should be walked and signed in at the Lower School Atrium where they will partake in quiet activities such as reading and drawing. This service is offered free of charge and students do not need to be pre-registered.
     
    **The first day of CajunCare Mornings will take place on Monday, August 23, 2021.

  • CajunCare Afternoons

    CajunCare Afternoons offers lower school students safe, enjoyable, supervised play from the end of the school day until 5:30 pm, every day. A snack is provided daily. Advanced enrollment is required, however, “drop-ins” are accepted if changed in SchoolPass before 2:00 pm, if there is space available. There will be a limited number of spots in aftercare per grade level. Parents will come to the Lower School Office to pick their children up and sign them out. In the event of an emergency or last-minute drop-in, please notify Kelsey Beahm in the Lower School Office so she can inform your child and your child's teacher of their dismissal change.
