Extended Day - Pembroke Hill School

Our Extended Day program serves students from early childhood through eighth grade, offering a safe and nurturing environment for after-school activities. Students have the opportunity to complete their homework assignments, engage in reading, play games, and participate in a variety of activities. The program is designed to provide a seamless extension of the school day, ensuring that children are well cared for and engaged until 6:00 p.m. beginning on August 20, 2026 for lower school and middle school and August 24, 2026 for early childhood. They early childhood and lower school programs end on May 27, 2027. The middle school program schedule is limited during the weeks of semester finals.

Extended Day care is available until 6 p.m. through the academic school year. Given the active nature of some of the activities, occasionally, a bump or bruise results. Please be assured we will contact you with anything more than a minor injury or illness. Drop-in care is available for lower school and middle school students.

Parents of early childhood and lower school students must sign students out of Extended Day to ensure the safety of students and for our record-keeping process. The sign-out sheet will always be with a staff member.

Note Early Childhood: August 1 is the priority deadline to submit extended day contracts. Contracts received after August 1 are not guaranteed and are subject to space availability.

Division Information

Early Childhood

Offered in a multi-age setting and hosted in a room in the early childhood building, the goal of the early childhood Extended Day program is to offer children a program that allows them to de-stress from their day. The schedule allows a great deal of flexibility with lots of free play both inside and outside.

Teaching staff provides children with age-appropriate activities through a balanced schedule of small and large group settings with quiet and active play, including outdoor fun, arts, crafts and music. Activities are planned, but children have the option either to participate or to do other independent activities or interact with teachers.

Lower School

The Extended Day program for lower school students is offered in Deramus Field House.

Students in grades K-2 are escorted to the field house for attendance and snack before being given the opportunity to participate in organized or free play activities. Activities are held inside the field house, on the playground, and on occasion elsewhere on campus.

Third-fifth grade students have a study hall period until 4:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, encouraging them to complete homework before leaving campus. Staff is available to assist children with homework when necessary. After study hall and on Fridays, students can choose to participate in planned or free-time activities.
