After School Programs
Princeton Day School offers several options for after school programs.
Stay & Play is a childcare program for Lower School students that begins immediately after school and ends at 6 p.m. Each day, attendees are provided a snack and spend time outdoors, weather permitting. Be sure to have your student come prepared with appropriate clothing for outdoor play.
Register
After School Courses for Lower School students are a fun and convenient way for students to pursue a special interest beyond the offerings of the school curriculum. Lower School students taking after school courses will meet with Stay & Play until their courses begin. Registration for After School Courses is done on a first received, first enrolled basis.
Middle School Homework Club
The Princeton Day School Homework Club provides a supervised after-school environment for Middle School students from 3:20 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Students are expected to use this time productively for completing assignments or reading.
