After Class Enrichment

Enriching the After School Experience

ACE & ACE Plus

WNS offers our families two after-school options throughout the school year. The ACE (After Class Enrichment) program provides daily after-school care led by our WNS ACE staff and teacher’s assistants. The ACE Plus program features a variety of enrichment classes each season taught by WNS faculty and experts from outside organizations.

The ACE program’s goal is to provide affordable, high quality, and reliable after-school care to the families of Westside Neighborhood School. Our group of instructors coordinate supervised homework time, a healthy snack, and a blend of structured activities and free play. ACE offers students a variety of games, activities, and projects each day, including story time, arts and crafts, free play, turf games, and more! The ACE instructors also provide a place for students to receive support on their homework.

Please note, there is an additional cost for these classes. ACE is complimentary before and after ACE Plus classes.

After Class Enrichment (ACE) FAQs

What are the times for ACE?

Do I have to enroll my child for all 5 days a week?

Families have the option to enroll for as many or as few days of ACE as they need.

For full-time ACE, your best option would be a Season Ticket. This offers full-time ACE services from dismissal to 5:30pm every school day. Alternatively, your child can attend ACE on a pre-chosen day per week with a Daily Ticket. For example, if you purchase a Daily Ticket for Mondays, your child can attend ACE every Monday of the season from dismissal to 5:30pm. Multiple Daily Tickets may be purchased if you need care on additional days of the week. If something comes up or you are running late, your child can attend ACE as a "Daily Drop-In".
