After School Enrichment
Extended Day & Enrichment Programs
MPH offers a comprehensive extended day program designed to support families with flexible, high-quality care before and after the school day.
Beyond daily supervision, MPH extends its after-school experience through a variety of enrichment opportunities that allow students to explore interests, build skills, and stay engaged in a meaningful way.
Extended Day Program
Our extended day program provides a safe, familiar environment for students at the beginning and end of the school day. Students have time to:
- Complete homework or reading
- Participate in supervised play and activities
- Relax and transition comfortably between school and home
Programs are staffed by MPH faculty and trained caregivers who know and support our students well.
After School Enrichment
Throughout the year, MPH offers a rotating selection of after school clubs and enrichment programs for students across grade levels.
These programs are designed to go beyond traditional aftercare by providing structured, interest-based experiences such as:
- Arts and creative expression
- Athletics and movement-based activities
- STEM and problem-solving programs
- Strategy-based learning (e.g., chess, logic, math)
- Leadership and personal development
Clubs are typically led by MPH faculty or expert instructors and run in seasonal sessions (fall, winter, and spring). Offerings vary each term based on student interest and availability.
Program Format
While specific offerings change each session, enrichment programs generally include:
- Weekly scheduled sessions after school
- Small group, age-appropriate instruction
- Hands-on, skill-building experiences
- Optional registration separate from extended day
Spaces in enrichment programs are often limited and may fill quickly.
