Childcare

Extended Day is our before and after school program which you can enroll in when you register for enrollment with TADS. Payment will be drafted via ACH. During AM Extended Day students have the opportunity to spend time with other students in the classrooms and outside (weather permitting). The afternoon Extended Day Program begins at 3:30 p.m. Instructional Assistants working with each grade level facilitate a daily routine including: a snack break (students need to provide their own nut-free snack from home), a brief recess period, participate in a lesson created to extend Leader In Me practice into Extended Day Programs, and begin working on their homework.  Students are encouraged to complete as much of their homework as possible during the designated time in Extended Day and will receive support from the Instructional Assistants if needed.  

Camp - During scheduled conferences and intersessions (Goal Setting, Parent/Teacher Conferences, Winter Break, Mid-Winter Break, Spring Break), CHA offers childcare. These daily activities center around varying themes that change with each session. Our campers explore art, science, technology, music and more each day while working with teachers they know. Active registrations are posted below, as are costs, policies and FAQ's.

For details of costs associated with the Extended Day and Camp programs please visit our Tuition page here.

EXTENDED DAY AND CHILDCARE FAQ’S

Do I have to register through both the Camp Registration form and the School’s Out system if I need care during conference days? If you are a Microsoft family utilizing the School’s Out or Back-Up Care benefit, then you must register through the School’s Out or Back-Up Care system.  If you are not a Microsoft employee, you must register through the Camp Registration Form above which will be sent out in Campus Updates.

How do I sign up for the after-school care program, and how do I make payments for it? If you want your student to be enrolled in our after-school care program (Extended Day), you should indicate this on your TADS Registration. Payment for Extended Day will be drafted automatically via ACH.
