AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS

Mount Hope Christian School provides an excellent Extended Care Program.  Our morning and afternoon care allows parents to meet their individual schedules with the peace of knowing their child will be well cared for.

In addition to our Extended Care Program, MHCS provides additional after-school activities for our elementary children.  We feel these offerings are a continuation of the child's classroom experience.

Parents will be informed throughout the school year as other classes are planned and available.  We invite parents to share their suggestions for additional class offerings.  If you are interested in sharing your talents and time by offering a course, please let us know.

EXTENDED CARE PROGRAM
Our Extended Care Program provides for before- and after-school care for all students enrolled at MHCS.  Parents may use this program on a full-time basis or on an as-needed basis.  Before-school Care opens at 7:30 a.m.  After-School Care begins when the child's school day ends (2:15 for elementary and 2:45 for preschool).  The extended care billing is processed at the end of each month with payments due on the 20th of the month.
