Before and after school care.
Extended Day.
Summit’s Extended Day program provides before and after school care in a safe, welcoming environment for students from Preschool through 8th Grade. Families gain greater flexibility while students have time to relax, connect with friends, play, create, and enjoy being part of the Summit community.
More than childcare.
An extension of their day at Summit.
The school day may be over, but the relationships and sense of community continue.
Extended Day is intentionally relaxed, giving students a comfortable transition before or after a full day of learning. Students have opportunities for creative activities, games, play, time with friends, and age-appropriate choices, all within the familiar environment of their school.
It is another way Summit supports the whole child while helping make school life work for busy families.

7:00 a.m. – 8:00 a.m.

Preschool – 8th Grade
Available to students throughout Summit’s Preschool through 8th Grade community.
One connected community.
Familiar faces. Familiar spaces.
One of the benefits of Extended Day is that students remain within the community they already know.
They spend additional time with friends and caring Summit staff in a familiar campus environment. For younger students, that continuity can make the longer day feel comfortable and predictable. For older students, it provides a place to decompress, socialize, and transition between school and home.
It reflects something central to the Summit experience: relationships matter throughout the entire school day.
