Afterschool Care

♦ PEF Afternoon Camp

PEF’s Afternoon Camp is geared toward supplementing the learning in the morning with exploratory activities in the afternoon. Every student will have the same class activities that will include art, fitness, and discovery. To be eligible for afternoon care, students must participate in the morning component. Students must stay on-site the whole time, and cannot be brought back for additional programming once they leave. Classes will be led by aspiring teachers with a lead teacher available onsite. Tuition assistance available to qualifying students.

♦ Other Partners

PEF also partners with other organizations, like Pasadena LEARNs and the Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena, to provide afterschool care for our students. More information will be available as we approach next year’s program.
