Cardinal Care

Mount Calvary Lutheran’s Before and After School Child Care

Before and after-school care is available at a cost to all school families for students enrolled at Mount Calvary Lutheran School through our Cardinal Care program.

At Cardinal Care, we aim to provide a loving, nurturing environment that eases children’s transitions between school and home.

Our Christ-centered program is designed to be a light, fun, educational experience. There is time for homework, lots of imagination, and simple hands-on activities. An afternoon snack will also be provided. We strive to make the care that we provide more custom to parents’ needs and the needs of the children.

Cardinal Care is available starting at 7:00 A.M. on a scheduled school day. Students in the elementary school are dismissed to their classrooms at 7:30 A.M. and preschool at 8:00 A.M.. Preschoolers will be escorted to the classroom to start their routine. Children arriving at Cardinal Care after 7:40am will need to be walked in by a parent/guardian to find the Cardinal Care group. Cardinal Care is available starting again at 11:30 A.M. after preschool classes dismiss, and at 3:00 P.M. for any elementary students needing care. Cardinal Care closes for the day promptly at 6:00 P.M.

Cardinal Care is offered on some days when school is not in session (i.e. teacher conferences, in-service dates, and some vacation days). Please pay close attention to the non-school day calendar offered at registration for dates when Cardinal Care would be available. Cardinal Care will not be open on non-school days when less than 3 children have signed up to attend. Parents will be notified in advance to make other arrangements.

Communication is very important between the caregivers and the parents to make the children’s experience the best that it can be. We look forward to getting to know you and your child(ren).
