The Orchard: Extended Day Program
At Almaden Country Day School, we believe children benefit from having comfortable places to gear up and wind down at school that is safe, enriching and also extends learning.
We offer supervised programs for all ACDS students before and after school. In the mornings, ACDS students in Kindergarten through 8th Grade can attend our complimentary before-school program. The Orchard: Extended Day program is available to Pre-Kindergarten through 8th Grade students for a fee based upon the number of days your child attends.
Before-School Program: Kindergarten - 8th Grade
We offer the complimentary supervised before-school program for children enrolled in ACDS Kindergarten through 8th Grade.
Kindergarten - 8th Grade: Before-School Program
We understand the need families have for flexibility in dropping off their children in the early morning hours. At ACDS, we offer a complimentary supervised before-school program for children enrolled in Kindergarten through 8th Grade. Students will experience a relaxed morning environment where they can prepare for the school day ahead.
