How extended care and more than 50 enrichment classes round out a day at Evergreen
Quick Answer for Busy Parents
Evergreen’s after-school program offers two distinct options for students from preschool through 8th grade: Extended Care, supervised before- and after-school time with age-appropriate activities, and Enrichment Classes, more than 50 specific classes offered across fall, winter, and spring sessions. Morning Care runs 7:00 to 8:00 am for K–8 students, and Afternoon Care runs 3:00 to 6:00 pm for preschool through 8th grade. Recent enrichment offerings have included Chess, Engineering with LEGO, Creative Drama, Debate Team, and Show Choir.
Two Distinct Options: Extended Care and Enrichment Classes
Evergreen structures its after-school offerings around two genuinely different experiences, not a single one-size-fits-all program. Extended Care provides supervised, age-appropriate activities for students who need coverage before or after the school day, with Morning Care running 7:00 to 8:00 am for K–8 students and Afternoon Care running 3:00 to 6:00 pm for preschool through 8th grade. Enrichment Classes, by contrast, are specific, topic-focused classes students opt into separately, offered across three sessions each year: fall, winter, and spring.
Why Separate the Two Options?
Keeping Extended Care and Enrichment Classes as distinct offerings, rather than bundling them together, lets families choose exactly the level of structure their child needs on a given day or season: supervised downtime on one day, and a specific enrichment class on another, rather than a single fixed program every family has to fit into the same way.

| Discussion & Debate | Philosophy, Debate Team |
| Other Interests | Baking, Magic: The Gathering |
Why Offer Both Options Side by Side
Because Evergreen serves highly capable learners specifically, its after-school program reflects the same philosophy that shapes the regular school day: giving students genuine choice and a wide range of ways to engage, rather than a single default activity. A student who wants downtime after a demanding academic day can choose Extended Care; a student eager to dive into a new interest, whether technical, creative, or discussion-based, has more than 50 enrichment options to choose from across the year.
A Program That Scales With the School Year
Running enrichment classes in three distinct sessions, fall, winter, and spring, rather than a single year-long commitment, gives students the flexibility to try something new each season rather than locking into one activity for the entire year.
Evergreen’s after-school program offers genuine flexibility, structured Extended Care for families who need reliable coverage, and more than 50 Enrichment Classes across three yearly sessions for students who want to explore new interests. Families should ask directly which specific classes are running in an upcoming session, since offerings can shift from year to year.
At Cardinal Education, we specialize in helping families understand how these offerings align with your specific schedule and your child’s interests. Our admissions experts are ready to guide you through these choices to find the best fit for your student.
