[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are two after school programs. The traditional before and aftercare is called Rising Stars. It’s run by a K teacher and is entirely staffed by LT teachers & aides. This year it is $250/month with sibling discounts & 100% of FARMS-eligible students on full scholarship. This is much cheaper than other local schools because it’s in-house. Families are very satisfied. Slots are guaranteed for everyone and there are drop-in options too.

Then there’s the afterschool enrichments program, which is basically clubs. It’s called Rising Stars and run in-house by the ECE Head Teacher. It’s truly amazing, though many clubs are not cheap (though some are). There’s everything from a Spring Musical drama club to an amazing dance program (ABL 100 kids participate) to cross country running club to a cooking club to a book club to yoga to sewing to Harry Potter STEAM to legos to Pokémon to making films club to an amazing art club to basketball (with an ex-WNBA player). Most clubs are taught by teachers and aides (who set their own prices, so lots of variation, but it’s a great way for aides in particular to supplement their salary.) There are scholarship slots available. Some clubs fill quickly, but registration is in 6 week sessions, so plenty of time to try things out and get into what your kid wants at some point.[/quote]

Forgot to add that many kids do both programs. So go to a club 2-3 days a week from 3:30-4:30/5 and then otherwise do aftercare. They work together seamlessly.[/quote]
