Our Before & After Care Program's mission is to provide our students with a safe and nurturing environment where our dedicated teachers and staff will help them grow, play and learn.AGCS' child care program is not babysitting; it's a robust, planned program run by our outstanding classroom teachers, specialist teachers, instructional assistants, and Junior or Senior students who are chosen for an educational internship. This provides consistency for your child because our staff are already familiar to them and you. We love our AGCS families! Since the program is run at school, students enjoy a safe, convenient, clean environment and all of the resources of our facility, including the bike path, Micro Farm, nature trail, technology, library, and STEM rooms. Students are part of a tightly knit, diverse community of children from different residential school districts, who are learning to accept each other and embrace differences.
The AGCS Before & After Care Program provides:
• Homework and tutoring help
• Research-based, standards-aligned curriculum
• Center-based activities for small group interaction
• Thematic units and celebrations
• PBIS Rewards - Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports
• Nutrition and exercise programsIf there's something unique your child needs, we have the flexibility to provide it.
Our child care teachers work in partnership with parents and communicate on a regular basis. Communication will occur through regular school communication methods: email, our website, and Facebook. Our school and student policies (such as health, discipline, and medication) also apply to our child care program.

Arrival/Pick-up Procedure
Parents are required to sign their child ineach day. For the safety of the children, staff will ask for a photo ID from any person not recognized. Children will be supervised at all times while in the school building.
Late Pick Up
Our school buildings close promptly at 6:00 PM. If an emergency situation prevents a parent from picking up a child on time, a parent or guardian must contact our staff. A late fee of $1.00 per minute, per child, will be charged if a child is not picked up by closing.
