After-School Care

Trinity offers after-school programs for students in grades TK–8. Students in grades TK–6 are served by our Trinity Neighborhood program. These programs are designed to assist parents whose work schedules do not allow them to regularly pick up their children at dismissal time.

Trinity's after-school programs reinforce and support its unhurried education and Christian mission. Students spend the afternoon in an environment rich with books, toys, games, crafts, curriculum-related activities, and opportunities for them to informally extend their learning.

For children in grades TK–8, Trinity's after-school programs provide lots of time with friends, as well as the attentive adult supervision required for all students who remain on campus after school hours. Students who participate in Trinity’s clubs, sports, and music groups are able participate in these during the after-school time. Parents share that their children love Trinity’s after-care and are able to complete their homework, allowing for more time with family.
