AfterCare Enrichment

AfterCare is a helpful service Lausanne offers to parents whose schedules might not allow them to pick up their child at the end of the school day. Whether you signed your child up or not, he or she is always more than welcome in AfterCare. Please let your child’s teacher know the days your child plans to attend or e-mail your child's teacher before dismissal the day of. If you don’t get a chance to inform the teacher prior to dismissal, don't worry, your child will automatically be taken to AfterCare after carpool is over. In addition to general AfterCare, there are also many extra activities offered to make sure your child enjoys every day after school. Please take a look below at the activities offered, in addition to the Conservatory and athletic programs. If you have any questions or comments concerning the AfterCare program, please do not hesitate to contact aftercare@lausanneschool.com.
