Lowell School, DC

When the school day is over, children may participate in Lowell’s After Care program from 3:15-6:00 pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays and from 2:00-6:00 pm on Wednesdays. Families may choose to use After Care regularly or on a drop-in basis. The goal of After Care is to provide a safe, caring, and enjoyable atmosphere for children, where they can play, make choices, and hone social skills under the guidance of caring adults. Participants have opportunities to engage in a variety of indoor and outdoor games, and activities that take advantage of mixed-age groupings. A healthy snack is provided. Children who have homework are provided with a supervised quiet room to complete their assignments. There is quiet time for K-1 students, 30 minutes of reading for students in 2nd-5th grades, as well as, homework help from an After Care staff person.
