Enrichment and After School

Our students don’t stop learning when classes end for the day. On both Lower and Upper Campus, PBDA offers a wealth of after-school enrichment opportunities for children who are eager to discover and explore new interests. A safe and structured environment empowers our students to try new things while building confidence and strengthening teamwork skills. We also provide aftercare and homework help.

Lower Campus Enrichment

Note, Lower Campus Enrichment will begin on April 5, 2021 with students in Kindergarten and the First Grade. Programs for other grade levels will be offered in the weeks following. The programs will follow PBDA’s health and safety protocols and will be run by our current teachers only, no outside instructors will be included at this time.

With at least half a dozen different activities and classes scheduled every day for students in Primary to Third Grade, the Lower Campus Enrichment calendar truly does offer something for every child with options changing each semester.

Budding artists can choose from painting, ceramics, 3-D sculptures or join the Art Club. Young athletes can take lessons in tennis, golf, soccer, martial arts, cheerleading, yoga and gymnastics. Scientific minds will be intrigued by Lego Robotics, our STEAM Train and Hands-on Equations.

Aftercare and Homework Help

Aftercare on both campuses will have limited capacity available. To reserve a space for your child on Lower Campus, please email Linda Merman.

On the Upper Campus, we will open the Wean Library until 4:00 p.m. each day and space will be limited. This is for families who cannot physically pick up their child due to outside family obligations or work. Please email Leslie Piester to save a space. Need will be deemed necessary by the Head of Upper School.

Lower Campus: PBDA offers a quality aftercare program for students ages 2 years old to 3rd grade. Students participate in age-appropriate activities including homework time, inside games and toys and outside play. Students are also provided with an afternoon snack. Aftercare is available weekdays from 3:15 to 5:00 p.m. for $10 an hour.

Upper Campus: Many students gather after school in the newly-renovated Raymond Wean Library which is open each weekday until 4:30 p.m. Teacher supervision is provided.
