ABOUT
Extended Child Services
​
ECS programs, including Before and After Care, give parents and guardians the peace of mind and security of knowing that their children are engaged in safe, educational and constructive activities. ECS programs strive to provide school age children with a safe and nurturing environment while promoting physical, emotional and intellectual development.
Before & After School programs are offered at all of the elementary schools in Cherry Creek School District. These programs provide child care before and after school on regular school days and also offer full-day care for school holidays, non-contact days, and school breaks (summer, fall, winter & spring), when enrollment is sufficient.
While attending Before & After school programs, students are given the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities including, but not limited to homework assistance, creative expression, science, technology, indoor/outdoor recreational games, health and fitness, music appreciation, dramatic play, communication skills, cognitive reasoning, building and construction, and appreciation of diversity.
Additionally, these programs offer a variety of activities that promote life skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, creativity, leadership, sportsmanship, and community service.
