Extended Day

Your child’s day does not need to end at 12:30 p.m.! At San Juan del Sur Day School, we strive to support the diverse needs of our families. San Juan del Sur Extended Day is an after school program serving children age 2-5. The program is designed to support parents and families who require childcare after 12:30 pm and also for children seeking additional opportunities for play, socializing and fun! Our after school program provides meaningful and exciting experiences in a Spanish-immersive, safe and caring environment.

Students will participate in:

  • A variety of age appropriate activities, including arts/crafts, cooking projects, science experiments, books, and puzzles lead in Spanish
  • Outdoor playtime (weather permitting)
  • Snack-time (provided by SJdS DS)

All activities will take place at Finca las Nubes

*While we cannot guarantee that your child will nap in Extended Day, we will provide a quiet space for children needing a rest.

*Parents are responsible for sending children to school with sufficient clothing, diapers, and wipes for entire day.

Children participating in our Extended Day Program will depart school at 3:00 pm each day with our primary school students. Parents can pick up children at the bottom of Finca Las Nubes hill at 3:05 pm, at the park at 3:30 pm or in La Talanguera at 3:45 p.m.

Currently, our extended day program has room for up to 16 children max. Parents who choose our monthly-unlimited use option automatically reserve a daily space for each paid month. Daily drop-ins will be assessed based on remaining space.

We offer two different payment options for our after school program.

Monthly-Unlimited Use – $140.00 per month, per child

Unless otherwise notified by a parent, child will stay for Extended Day all full days that school is in session during the month that has been paid.   Payment is required in full, 5 days prior to start of new month.

Daily- $12/day per child

Students who are not signed up for unlimited use will automatically be billed at a daily rate. Invoices are generated each month and must be paid in full within 5 days or child will not be permitted to participate in future Extended Day activities. To reserve a space for the day, parents must contact Extended Day Supervisor Director Onelia Obregon via email, by 3:00 pm the day before. Space is on first come, first served basis.  If you do not hear back, assume that your child will be dismissed at 12:30.
