After School Program
In support of our families, Golden Bridges School provides a loving and nurturing extended care program for our Kindergarten and Grades children. The afternoon continues with a healthy rhythm and offers a home-like environment in which younger children enjoy the company of their friends, a nap or quiet time, indoor and outdoor play time, and time for a nutritious snack. Older children have the opportunity to engage in meaningful activities, study, complete homework, and socialize with friends.
