AFTERCARE
PROGRAM
Our Aftercare Program offers a loving, nurturing space where children can relax and explore before the school day begins and during the late afternoon (3-5 p.m.). Children enjoy self-directed activities including arts and crafts, a library nook, building blocks, puzzles, board games, trains, musical instruments, and practical life exercises.

Flexible Scheduling for Before & After Care
To support our families, HPMS provides flexible options before class (7:30-8:20 a.m.) and through the afternoon until 5 p.m. Our academic calendar closely follows the Saint Paul Public Schools elementary schedule, with holiday care available on select non-class days (see Calendar for details).
