After School & Enrichment

Learning, discovery, and fun continue beyond regular school hours.

Poly’s Lower School offers a full extended day program for all students enrolled in Nursery to Grade 4.

Families have two options from which they can choose: After School Care and our Enrichment Program.

Students in the After School Care program engage with schoolmates from different classes and grades, and participate in the following programming:

• Nursery and Pre-K After School Care includes activities such as art, storytime, games, and music. Children also visit the playground outdoors, weather permitting.
