Welcome to SFA Extended School Program (ESP)
The St. Francis Extended School Program is a service provided to the parents of St. Francis Elementary and Middle School families in response to the need for before-school and after-school child care.
The Extended School Program is designed to complement the school curriculum by providing children with a supportive and Christian environment for constructive and creative out-of-school time. Students look forward to spending time with their classmates in a relaxed atmosphere where they can participate in structured and non-structured recreational activities.
Programs Offered
- Before and After-School – This program provides before and after school childcare to the children enrolled in St. Francis of Assisi School. Families have the opportunity to schedule care that meets the needs of their family. Set schedules and drop-in care are available. See below for more information.
- Middle School – This after-school program for seventh and eighth grade students is a different structure to meet the special needs of this age-group. See below for more information.

Set Schedule: BS $6/day, AS $16/day
- A set schedule is one which is the same very week.

- This is occasional or back-up care.
- It must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance, however, the more notice the better.
