Elementary After-School Program
2024-25 Extended Care Information & Policies
Extended Care at LCA is a way we can assist families bridge the gap if they are unable to pick up their students by 3:15 p.m. Applications are opening for Extended Care in May this year, as opposed to July, so we can get an accurate count of how many students will need our services so we can provide a welcoming and engaging environment in aftercare. Applications will begin to be reviewed mid-June and communication about enrollment in aftercare will occur in early July.
Our mission is to provide an environment for our kids to feel safe, know they are loved by God and our staff, and to have fun each day.
Students will be provided with an after-school snack and have time to play outside on the playgrounds and kick-ball fields. Those who wish to do homework have the option to do that. On inclement weather days, our students are inside playing games, coloring, and connecting with our staff of high school and college-aged students.
We ask all families who intend to regularly use Extended Care register their student(s) so we can appropriately staff our program each day. We understand that some families may have unforeseen or extenuating circumstances that would result in them needing to use Extended Care on an irregular basis. In this case, a drop-in fee of $50 per day per child would apply.
IGNITE
Welcome to Ignite, a new, revamped program of co-curricular activities for our elementary students in 2nd - 5th grades. At Lexington Christian Academy (LCA), our mission is to equip and nurture students to fulfill God's calling on their lives through Christ-centered education. Ignite is one of many efforts to fulfill our mission. Our inspiration for this program comes from 2 Timothy 1:6-7, "For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline." We believe in order to help our students under their calling, we must give them opportunities to "fan into flame" their gifts, talents, and interests.
Knowing that God wired each child uniquely, we developed offerings to serve the many interests of our students. Those offerings are divided into six categories: Academic Enrichments, Athletic Programs, Extended Care, Fine Arts Programs, Spiritual Life, and Tutoring Programs.
