Mission Basilica School is dedicated to serving the needs of our school families. Extended Day Care is provided for students in Kindergarten through Grade 8 from 2:30 – 5:30 p.m. The basic Catholic Christian philosophy that permeates the total school community continues to operate in the Extended Care Program. This philosophy emphasizes the dignity and respect for persons and for creation, and the moral, social, emotional, physical and intellectual development of each child.

In addition, the Director and Staff of the Extended Day Care Program:

•    Provide a caring, safe environment after school hours for children.
•    Provide activities that are a balance of structure and responsible free choice.
•    Develop and improve social skills by providing opportunities for:
•    using initiative
•    being independent and self-directed
•    associating constructively with peers
•    observing supportive and challenging role models
•    developing a sense of competence and a healthy self-image[/arrowlist]

The program includes an after school snack, time for activities such as crafts, homework, study, or reading, as well as supervised free play.
