After School Care

Company is First Presbyterian Day School’s after school care program. It is available for any currently enrolled students in preschool through sixth grade who need to stay after 2:45pm carpool. After school care takes place on campus and offers fun and enriching experiences for students. We follow a rotation schedule that prioritizes homework for older grades and creates space for organized play. Company begins the first full day of school and is open all full days when school is in session.

Students must register and select an enrollment option before participating in Company

Options and Fees

Beginning in fall 2026, the fees for Company will be billed at a flat rate. In considering the varying needs of different families in our school, we have three Company options to choose from to best fit each individual student.

  • Monthly Company: $160 per month

  • Drop-In: $30 per day

  • Sports+Company: $40 per season

Monthly Company is our consistent after-school care option that allows families to have reliable care without varying charges each month. Parents should select an option and complete the registration form once per school year. The Drop-In option can be combined with the Sports+Company options if needed. (see the FAQs below for more descriptions)

Fees will be posted to your student’s FACTS account monthly. Registration options can be changed at the end of the fall semester if needed.

Company has always been a program centered around flexibility and convenience for our parents. No matter how your schedule changes, Company will be there!

General Information

At 2:45pm dismissal, students will be directed by teachers to either carpool or Company. Parents should communicate with their student, or mark their bag tags each day, as to where they should go at the end of the school day. Once in Company, staff will take attendance and begin daily programming. Students are welcome, and encouraged, to bring a snack if staying for after school care. Parents can pick up their students from Company by signing them out at the school office.

Company can also serve as a bridge for your student between sports and extracurricular activities. Company will dismiss and ensure students transition between on campus after school activities as needed.

Company will be billed during the ten school months (August 2026 - May 2027).

Company is available to all students enrolled in a full-day program. If your student is enrolled in half-day preschool or kindergarten, they are not eligible to participate in Company. Company is not available when school dismisses for a half-day.

FAQs

  • If your student will stay in Company regularly (more than once per week), the monthly option will typically be the most cost-effective choice. For occasional or as-needed use, the drop-in option will be available.

    We encourage parents to assess their family schedules and reach out to the school if you have further questions.

  • The drop-in option is designed for families who need flexibility on an as-needed basis. No advance commitment is required.

  • If your student will only stay for Company when their sports event warrants it, we have a reduced Sports+Company rate option available. This only applies to students on an FPDS sport team who are not enrolled in Monthly Company, and will provide coverage only for the time between the end of school and the start of practice or game happening on campus. If a student is enrolled in Monthly Company, this service is already included.

    Example: If your student plays basketball and will only stay in Company on the days they have practice or a game from 2:45pm until their event begins, this option was made for you. 

  • For families needing occasional after school care every now and then, we will still have a drop-in Company option. The drop-in system will continue to function as it always has! Your student will let their teacher know they need to stay for Company (either verbally or on their bag tag) and we will handle the rest. Parents should register their students for this option, and the rate will be applied for any day the student stays for Company.

  • No, you cannot register for one month of Company at a time.

    By registering for Monthly Company, you are signing up to pay a consistent flat rate for the entire 10 month school year. This guarantees the student will have unlimited after-school care.

    If you would like to cancel your Monthly Company registration for the spring semester, you can do so by emailing the school before January 15, 2027.

  • Company is available each full school day until 6:00p.m.

  • If your student goes from their school day right into an extracurricular activity, and they are picked up at the end of that activity, then no, they do not need to be registered for Company. If your student will need on campus care after their activity ends, then yes, they will need to be registered for a Company option.
