Aftercare contracts are included in the Back to School Packet released in August and are available to download below. Please refer to the contracts for detailed program policies. Drop-In care is available based on space and staffing availability.

Vacation Care is offered on a limited basis during times when the school is closed. There is a minimum enrollment requirement for the  program.  If less than four children are signed up for the program on any given day, that  day will be cancelled.

Please refer to the table below to see what forms you will need to submit to the office (email: registrar@daviswaldorf.org).
