Davidson Academy respects the school-age child's freedom to control this portion of his or her day. Child-directed choice allows children to spend time in a less structured environment doing the things they enjoy. It is an important aspect of school-age care.
Extended Care staff remind and encourage children to work on assignments. However, it is not possible for all children to use this time doing homework. Usually, it is more successful for families to determine homework policies and enforce them. Outside play cannot be withheld for homework purposes.
Afternoon snacks are provided for students registered in all Extended Programs. However, students may bring a peanut-free snack from home.
