There is no need to register for Extended Care. All Aurora students are welcome on any school day. Pre-registration is only required if you choose to enroll in the unlimited flat rate option, see payment options below for more info.

There are two options: unlimited monthly flat rate or hourly drop in. The unlimited flat rate option ($390/month) requires an automated monthly electronic bank withdrawal pre-payment, using this authorization ACH form. Months with 5 or more weekdays without school are pro-rated.

If you do not enroll in this unlimited flat rate option, you will pay the hourly drop in rate ($11 per hour) that is invoiced at the end of each month.

There are three 8-week Enrichment Class sessions each school year. Information about each session is available several weeks before a session begins. The most current schedule  can be found on our Enrichment Class page. There is an additional cost for Enrichment Classes.

Your child’s classroom teacher is the one who needs to know where to send your child at the end of the school day.

An email to your child’s teacher is best. All children not collected from the front steps within 10 minutes of dismissal time are automatically brought to Extended Care and signed in. There is never a scenario where your child is on the front steps waiting for you for longer than 10 minutes.

Please contact the Extended Care Director with the name of the person picking up your child in advance of the pick up.

9:00 am to 4:00 pm — Extended Care Director, Josh Johnson at (510) 428-2606 ext 208 2:20 pm to 6:00 pm — Extended Care Room at (510) 428-2606 ext 225

Please park your car and come in to collect and sign out your child from Extended Care.

We have a system of electronic keypad locks on all three main entrances (Front Door, Yard Gate, and Auditorium Door). All new families can get the code verbally from the front office, any Extended Care staff, or anyone in the community that already knows it. When the weather is good and daylight is plenty, the yard gate (adjacent to the front steps) is the easiest way to get in and sign out your child. When the weather is not so good or it’s dark out, all the kids go inside to the Extended Care room and you will need to enter through the Auditorium Door adjacent to the Holy Names driveway.

Extended care ends at 6:00 pm every day, except for a few Fridays when we end at 4:00 pm before a holiday break. Please plan accordingly so that you can pick up your child before we close for the day. If you think you are going to arrive after 6:00 pm, please call the Extended Care Room at (510) 428-2606 ext 225 and inform the Extended Care staff so that they know you are on your way. Pick-ups after 6:00 pm are strongly discouraged and charged the following fees, which are added onto your monthly EC bill.

Picked up between 6:01 – 6:15 pm: $20
Picked up between 6:16 – 6:30 pm: $40
Picked up from 6:31 pm on $75

All children must be signed out at pick up every day!

If your family has chosen the hourly drop-in option, you will be charged for a full afternoon of care, until 6:00 pm. If you are enrolled in our unlimited flat rate option and forgot to sign out on repeated occasions, the unlimited option will unfortunately be discontinued for your family. Please remember to sign out every day!

YES! We sign in every child who comes to Extended Care, even if they are taking an Enrichment class, so they must be signed out at pickup, even if they are not going to stay after their class. You are not charged for any time during the class, it is deducted from your daily total. If you don’t sign out, you will be charged for a full day of care.
