    The After-School Care and Enrichment (ACE) program at The Benjamin School serves students in WOW through Grade 5, providing a safe, engaging, and supportive environment after the regular school day ends. ACE runs from dismissal until 6:00 p.m. on full school days.
    Children in the ACE program enjoy:
    • Outdoor play
    • Nutritious snacks
    • Dedicated homework time
    • Age-appropriate activities led by trained ACE counselors
    ACE is not a drop-in programpre-registration is required, and families may register on an annual, semester (Fall, Winter, or Spring), or monthly basis. Due to staffing and safety considerations, we do not offer daily or drop-in rates.
    All students enrolled in ACE must follow the rules and policies outlined in The Benjamin School Student-Parent Handbook.

    What is Enrichment?

    As part of our ACE program, Enrichment classes offer students in WOW through Grade 5 the chance to explore new interests and develop skills in a fun, structured setting. Classes are offered in four sessions each year—two in the Fall and two in the Spring.
    Students in:
    • WOW–Kindergarten are escorted directly to class at dismissal.
    • Grades 1–5 are signed in by Aftercare staff, given a snack and time to begin homework, then escorted to class.
    There is no charge for aftercare before Enrichment classes. If your child needs care after Enrichment, ACE registration is required.
    Note: Students who miss all or part of the school day due to absence may not attend Enrichment that day.
    Registration and payment are completed online, and families will be notified when registration opens.

    Enrichment Pick Up: The Aftercare Coordinator, associate, or club vendor will walk students to the designated dismissal area at Red Dot.  Please remain in your car at pick-up so we can safely load the
    children. Please review the Enrichment schedule for the end time and ensure you pick up your child within 10 minutes of the activity ending.
    **You will only need register for ACE if your child will not be picked up at the Enrichment dismissal time. As during the school day, if you would like to speak with an enrichment instructor or pick
    up your child early please contact the Enrichment office.
