A Service Provided for Families!

Before and After Care has been offered by St. Paul’s for nearly a decade. Under the leadership of Program Coordinator Mrs. Katie Idler, St. Paul’s understands the needs of busy families and the importance of providing a safe, enriching environment for your child—before and after the school day.

  • Safe & Supervised: Your child’s safety is our top priority. Our staff are trained, caring professionals.

  • Convenient for Families: Extended hours support parents' work schedules and peace of mind.

  • A Balanced Approach: We focus on academics, creativity, and play to ensure a well-rounded experience.

  • Supportive Environment: We encourage positive relationships and help children develop confidence and social skills.

To participate, please indicate the option during registration in JMC, and submit the health and After Care scheduling. No schedule is needed for before care. To secure After School Care services for M/Tu/Th/F afternoon parents are asked to submit a schedule with a recurring weekly schedule for the year or submit their child’s schedule monthly by the 25th of the preceding month.

In lieu of Aftercare on Wednesdays, parents are invited to register their children for Saints Alive, St. Paul's Church's Wednesday afternoon faith formation program.
