Summer Program
Each summer we continue programming for the children that are currently attending our school, as an extension of the school year, following our “Around the World” theme. We are open from Monday-Thursday starting at 8am, with two pick up options, 1pm or 3pm - we will not have programming after 3pm. This program runs for the 3 weeks in June following the end of our school year, closes for the 4th of July week, and then runs for 6 additional weeks. Registration is weekly and we begin taking registrations each January, for children currently attending, and full payment is due by June 1.
Our summer program is only for current Good Shepherd School students. New students may attend the summer program following their first school year.
