La Jolla YMCA On-Site Before and After School Program (Monday - Friday)
The La Jolla YMCA offers on-site before and after school childcare.  The program is available before school from 6:30 a.m. – 8:45 a.m.  At the end of the day, students can go directly to the YMCA program from their classrooms at 3:35 p.m. and can be picked up at any time before 6:00 p.m.  The La Jolla Elementary School office can provide you with information on the program.

For an application and fee schedule, please contact the school office or the YMCA directly at (858) 453-3483.

Knowledge College (After school)
In the 2004-2005 school year, we began an after school “homework club” to assist students with their home assignments.  Our La Jolla Elementary teachers at each grade level work with students to reinforce concepts and to assist them with work organization and task completion.  The fees for this program are paid directly to the school.

 This program offers:

  •         Our own teachers at each grade level assisting students in a small group setting
  •         The convenience of having students attend a program on site
  •         Access to La Jolla Elementary books, computers and resources, including our wonderful library
  •         A trained professional for the child to work with on his/her homework and a well-deserved break for mom and dad!  

LJES After School Science Enrichment Program (Tuesdays After School)
We love learning about science at La Jolla Elementary School!  Last year (2006) we formed a partnership with Rendezvous Science Center in La Jolla.  We offer an after school science enrichment program to all students in grades K-5.  The fees for this program are paid directly to the school.

The After School Science Enrichment Program will be offered once/week, starting Tuesday, 9/25/07 for the 2007-8 school year.  Our La Jolla Elementary teachers at each grade level will work with students on carefully chosen science topics and activities that will expand and enrich the regular curriculum taught in our science program.  It will be taught as our science program is taught with hands on exploration and an inquiry-based approach.

Please call the school office for more information about the program.
