Mars Campus
Our program is open Monday through Friday, from 3:30-6:00 p.m. We operate according to the Mars School District calendar, and will only be open when there is a full day of school. We will be open the first day that the children return to school from summer break.
Mission Statement:
The Mars United Methodist Church After School Program will provide area children in grades K-6 with a safe, comfortable, nurturing environment in which to spend time after school. All children are entitled to respect, caring, and compassion and will be treated equally.
Transportation:
The Mars School District Transportation System will bring your child(ren) to the church after school, but they must be brought every day. If you plan to have your child attend our program less than 5 days per week on a regular basis you will have to arrange other transportation through the school. Please send a note to school with your child stating that they will need to ride the bus to our program which stops directly outside of the church (Pittsburgh and Lincoln Street Bus Stop).
Registration:
“In House” registration is open to families who currently have child(ren) enrolled in the program and takes place before the end of each school year. “Open Registration” is open to new students at the end of the school year until the program is filled (20 students maximum).
