After-School Care

An on-site, After-School Care Program (ASCP) is offered to families with children in grades K-8. The hours of program operation are 3:00-5:45 p.m., Monday through Friday, on every full day of school. There is no after-school care on half-days, holidays, or when school is canceled or dismissed early due to inclement weather. 

ASCP Mission: To provide a safe, enjoyable program of on-site, after-school care which will be a fun, wholesome break from the school-day routine while also supporting the structure of the Westminster program.

At the end of each academic day, their homeroom teachers escort/direct the students to the Library, where they are welcomed by the ASCP staff. The same general schedule is followed each afternoon: 

3:00 - 3:45 - homework/individual work
3:45 - 4:15 - free play (outdoor/indoor)
4:15 - 4:30 - snack with drink
4:30 - 5:45 - arts & crafts; board games; library/story time; movie & popcorn (Fridays)

After-school care is provided only to those students who register for the program. No “drop-ins” are accepted. The cost of the program is $3,950 per student/per year, payable in quarterly increments of $987.50. Sibling discounts are not offered. Enrollment in the After-School Care Program is limited to 50 students, on a first-come, first-served basis.  Westminster’s After-School Care Program is licensed by the Virginia Department of Social Services.
