Mount Alvernia Academy has a comprehensive Extended Day and Full-Day Childcare programs.  It operates daily throughout the school year, during February and April vacations, the weeks after school ends, and the week before school begins, as well as on half days and parent/teacher conference days.

The comprehensive, coordinated Extended Day Program provides a wide range of activities, including academic support as well as enrichment programs for the students.  Mount Alvernia Academy's Extended Day Program operates from 2:40 p.m. until 5:45 p.m. each day in the Main School building. It is open every day that Mount Alvernia is in session.  On half days, the program runs from 12:00 p.m. until 5:45 p.m. 

A general after-school session will include arts and crafts, sports, homework time, outdoor play, and a snack. The Extended Day Program is committed to providing a creative alternative for Mount Alvernia families for after-school care.

The program is committed to the development of the whole child---intellectually, socially, emotionally, creatively, and physically.

Daily Program

After a nutritious snack, children will be given ample time for indoor and outdoor free play.  Individual and small group activities such as arts and crafts, games, and team sports will be offered.  Children will also be given the opportunity to do homework.  Activities are intended to meet the child's need for recreation, cultural enrichment, understanding diversity, and to allow for individual choice.  Special events and holiday celebrations are also included in this program.
