After School Program
PM Childcare is available for all students from 2:45pm-6:00pm.  Emerson’s caring and dedicated childcare staff is committed to providing a safe environment for play, enrichment classes and age-appropriate activities for all children.  Emerson Childcare is fully licensed by the State of Michigan Department of Social Services and follows all of its rules and guidelines.  Many of the program’s policies are designed to meet these guidelines.

Children in the After School Program are divided according to grade levels and offered a simple, nutritious snack.  Age-appropriate games, crafts and activities are offered by the after school program staff in addition to outside play.  The library is used for reading and studying with homework time set aside right after school.  Throughout the day, there is ample opportunity for cross-age group play and friendships.

Enrichment Classes
Emerson offers a variety of after school enrichment classes such as sports, foreign languages, improv and sketch comedy and our most popular, chess.  The enrichment classes are open to all Emerson students.  The school year is broken down into three sessions for enrichment classes: fall, winter and spring.  A list and description of class offerings will go home before each session.  Parents are charged a fee for each semester and children are not charged for childcare while in the classes. 

Music Lessons
We offer a variety of private music lessons after school from three very talented instructors.  Some spots are still available; if interested contact Rose Murphy at rmurphy@emerson-school.org
