Special Programs

Early Birds (Before Care) 7:45-8:45

At an additional cost, the school is offering a before-care program every morning, which will begin at 7:45 and end at 8:45 when regular school begins. We will need to have commitments from parents by the first day of the school year for staff scheduling purposes. Children will be supervised by the St. Timothy’s Staff.  If there are not enough students signed up, the program will be cancelled. Please make sure to call the school to express your interest.

Lunch Bunch 12:00 – 1:30

The Lunch Bunch program is an opportunity for students in the morning session to remain at school until 1:30 pm. We are currently offering Lunch Bunch Monday – Friday. At the beginning of each month, the dates that Lunch Bunch will be available are announced. Parents may register and pay at that time for the dates(s) that they would like the child to attend. For those that choose to sign up for the first half of the year, a discount will be offered. Children are supervised by members of the pre-school staff.

The program includes lunch (brought from home) and a number of activities which may include outdoor play, art, and music. Lunch Bunch is an additional opportunity for children to have fun and socialize with other students while providing parents with a little extra time. A pizza day will be offered once per week.

S.T.A.C (St. Timothy’s After – Care) 1:30-4:00

St. Timothy’s Afternoon Care (STAC) Program is an after-care program offered to our 3 and young 4 year olds. 

STAC includes both Lunch Bunch (LB) and extended day activities.  The extended day for our younger students includes a rest period followed by snack and free play/crafts, similar to the activities of first homeroom in the morning program.  The primary focus of our 3 year old program is to develop social skills, and our STAC program gives our students more time to practice these skills while having lots of fun!  Participants must be at least 3 years old and comfortable using the bathroom by themselves.

S.T.E.P. (St. Timothy’s Enrichment Program) 1:30 – 4:00

S.T.E.P. is an afternoon supplemental program, much like a STEM, for enrolled students of St. Timothy’s Pre-School. Children will remain for a combined Lunch Bunch and Enrichment class. The Program runs Monday through Friday where each day is a different topic. It is typically designed as a 3-4 week program. Topics will vary each month. A sample monthly schedule may look like this: Mondays = Kids in the Kitchen, Tuesdays = Bubbles, Pop & Fizz, Wednesdays = Lego Math, Thursdays = Ballet & French and Fridays = Michelangelo.  The program is primarily geared toward the older child and those who are totally comfortable with the preschool setting, as well as being ready for the longer day.

Summer Camp

St. Timothy’s Pre-School Summer Program consists of three unique two-week sessions. Each session provides a variety of indoor and outdoor educational and recreational activities based on a specific theme. Themes are varied from year to year. Themes that may be offered include Young Astronauts, Dinosaurs, Rain Forest, Under the Sea, Creepy Crawly Bug Camp, Pirates & Princesses and Safari, among others. Camp hours are 9:00am – 1:30 with Lunch Bunch included.

A special time is planned each day to discuss and share information about the theme of the session. In activities related to the theme, the children participate in arts and crafts, games, directed and free play, story time, sing-along, and sprinkler play. A light snack is served daily.

Our teachers are trained in CPR and First Aid. The staff/camper ratio is 1:7. The summer program is limited to children ages 4 (by Sept. 30) and 5. Group size is limited. Registration opens in mid-April for current students. New students are accepted beginning in early May.
