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 grade). 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 certain scheduled ½ days.

Daily Schedule

AM (Morning)
We open at 6:30 am in the Parish Center, rooms 1 & 2. Parent or guardian check in their child. The children put away their backpacks and go to centers or finish their homework. Children may bring a snack from home such as yogurt, granola bars or breakfast. We begin to clean up the room at 8:00 am. The children gather their belongings, and line up for morning Prayers.
PM (Afternoon)
In the afternoon we open at 3:20 pm children come directly to the parish center. They check in and put away their belongings. We go outside or to the gym when it is available. There is time for homework. PLEASE SEND PENCIL AND PAPER FOR THEM TO USE. When finished there are quiet center activities. Snack time is approx. 4:30 pm. We say the mealtime blessing when finished with snack, all kids work to clean up and recite the grace after meal prayer. It is then time to read or work on homework until picked up by parents.
Star Care door closes promptly AT 5:30 PM.
