EARLY CHILDHOOD Extended Care

Central Coast Waldorf School offers Extended Care for students in the Early Childhood program. We provide the students a safe and warm environment to enjoy a relaxed period of "quiet time" after a full day with their teachers and classmates. Following a healthy afternoon snack, there is creative play and outdoor time. Our extended care providers are trained to model the same guidelines and social behaviors as the regular daytime program in the Preschool and Kindergarten classes.

GRADE Extended Care

Central Coast Waldorf School offers an Extended Care option for students in the Grade School program. It serves as a transition from the classroom rhythm into home life for families who need it. The extended day rhythm of a healthy out-breath helps support the students as they digest and integrate the learning they have done with their class and subject teachers earlier in the day. Our activities and environment complement the school day experience and are in harmony with Waldorf philosophy. With outdoor time, creative play, and a healthy afternoon snack, Grade students are cared for by trained providers, who understand and appreciate the importance of this time of the day and strive to maintain a continuity of care. In the Grades Extended Care, students continue to experience the guidelines of school boundaries, social behaviors, and age appropriate activities that they follow in the regular school day.
