Extended Day Program
South Loop Elementary School and Youth Guidance, a non-profit organization, work collaboratively to offer a tuition-based Extended Day Program at the school. The Extended Day Program runs from the end of the school day until 6:00pm, offering working families an affordable solution for after-school childcare, with a program that is integrated with the students' school day.
The Extended Day Program includes the following activities:
- A snack
- An academic hour (to work on homework)
- A gym period (for games and physical education)
- An academic enrichment hour for students to do fun activities based on daily education themes
- Elective specialty activities including computers, origami, art, band for 4th graders, and yoga
- Drama
- Dance
The Youth Guidance Extended Day Program at South Loop is designed to meet the academic, social and emotional needs of students through a diverse collection of engaging and thought-provoking activities. The program provides a safe and supportive environment in which students are free to learn, create, share and grow along with their fellow participants. Tutoring and homework assistance supplement school day lessons, and enrichment activities provide students with opportunities to explore and interpret the world and themselves through art.
The Extended Day staff is comprised of committed, caring individuals who ensure that each child has a positive, safe and fun Extended Day experience. Each staff member has extensive childcare experience. Staff members work closely with regular school day staff members to ensure consistency of expectations, academic focus, and behavior.
