After School Care
Our After School Program is lead by director, Sue Brenner. Mrs. Brenner has been a part of the fabric of our school for 30 years. She started as a parent, volunteer and School Board President and spent twenty years as our First Grade Teaching Assistant with her dear friend Joanne Foster. She continues to provide a safe, fun and reliable place for our students as well as students from several Guilderland public schools. Mrs. Brenner enjoys the time she spend with our friends helping them with homework and giving them an opportunity to play and relax after a busy day at school.
The After School Program at St. Madeleine Sophie School offers an “unstructured,” supervised playtime for students attending St. Madeleine Sophie School and Guilderland elementary schools.
The After School program is open Monday through Friday, until 5:30 p.m. Parents will be notified of any dates when after school care will not be provided.
“Unstructured” playtime includes:
- Outdoors: You will find us on the playground behind the school where we can enjoy the following activities: basketball, kickball, hula hoops, sidewalk chalk, playground games, etc. (If the traffic cones are up, we are outside.)
- Indoors: Throughout the winter months and during inclement weather, you will find us in the Parish Center, where we can enjoy the following activities: basketball, Legos, board games, puzzles, coloring/crafting, etc.
Children attending after school care should bring a snack and beverage every day. On especially warm days, more than one beverage or a refillable water bottle is recommended. Children should always have a sweater or lightweight jacket, in case the weather cools off when we are outdoors.
