After Care

When the school day is over, children may participate in Lowell’s After Care program through 6 pm, Monday to Friday, including Wednesdays.

Most families enroll as part of their yearly contract, but new enrollments are accepted throughout the school year. After Care is also available on a drop-in basis by registering no later than noon on the day of requested care.

After Care Programs

List of 3 items.

  • Pre-Primary + Primary School After Care

    After Care provides a safe and enjoyable atmosphere where children can play, make choices, and hone social skills under the guidance of caring adults. Participants engage in various indoor and outdoor games and activities, and children with homework are provided with a supervised quiet room to complete their assignments.

    We ask that parents send an additional snack in the afternoon for After Care.
  • Middle School After Care

    The After Care program provides a space for students to snack, socialize, or complete homework in a quiet environment with peer assistance or adult help, as needed.
  • Conference Care and Break Clubs

    Lowell provides themed days of events and activities during winter and spring breaks, such as cooking, field trips, picnics, arts, crafts, and sports. Families can choose to participate for the entire break or select days.

    Winter Break Club: December 23, 26, 27; and December 30, 31, January 2, 3
    Spring Break Club: March 24–28, 2025

    During parent-teacher conferences, short-term childcare is provided free of charge. Full-day care during conferences and professional days is offered for a fee.

Families must arrange for care when a student participates in a program that does not begin immediately following dismissal or ends prior to pick-up time (e.g., a minicourse or a sports team). In these instances, we offer adjusted After Care rates, which can be arranged through the Auxiliary Programs office.
