When picking up your children at 3:30 p.m., please wait outside the double doors at the end of the hallway in order for the younger bus students to proceed safely down the hallway. After-School Childcare Program The College offers an after-school childcare program* until 5:00 p.m. for students in both the Junior and Montessori School who are unable to take the Early Bus home. Children in the program play outside when the weather is good, and we provide a variety of indoor activities during inclement weather. Students may take the Late Bus home at 5:00 p.m. or be picked up by 5:00 p.m. Please call the Early Education School Assistant at ext. 168 to register your child for this service.
