Star Care Overview
Star Care provides a Roman Catholic based program, a safe and nurturing environment for the families of our school.
We offer diverse activities, which are age appropriate, to provide physical and intellectual stimulation to the children. We focus on homework in order for the students to be able to enjoy their evenings without the pressure of doing homework.
Star Care enrollment is for those children who are enrolled in Our Lady Star of the Sea School (Kinder through eighth). Even though space is limited, we offer drop in care with advance notice to Mrs. McDaniel at (360) 405-0204.
Star Care is an extension of the school. It is closed when the school is closed, such as federal holidays, in-service days and for weather or other emergencies.
We are not open on all scheduled ½ days.
Daily Schedule
AM (Morning)
Centers or homework. Then at 8:00 a.m. we recite the Guardian Angel prayer, offer intentions and recite one decade of the Rosary mystery of the day. We leave the room at 8:20 a.m. to outside or gym play so Mrs. McDaniel can go to morning prayer and connect with teachers. On Wednesdays we attend 8 a.m. morning Mass. We leave the room about 7:50 a.m. We sit on the right side of the church as close to the front as possible.
PM (Afternoon)
At 3:15pm (or at 3:55pm on club days) children come directly to Star Care. They check in and put away their belongings. We will go outside for 10 to 15 minutes. Back to the room we go, use rest room, wash hands, and sit down at a table. Snack time. All the children are involved in helping with cleaning up the snack area. They wash hands, and off to homework or centers. At 5:00 PM, we have room clean up. They go to reading center or continue their homework until picked up by parents at 5:30 PM when Star Care closes for the day.
