Explorers Before Care

"Before Care" is for students before the school day starts.

It is managed by Explorers staff.

All St. Martin's students, Toddlers through 8th Grade, can attend Explorers Before Care.

• Toddlers, Beginners and Pre-K students are housed in the Agora Room in the EC wing of SMES. 
• Parents must enter the main school entrance at Warrior Hall, escort their student(s) to this room, and sign them in. 

Kindergarten - 8th Grade 

• Kindergarten through 8th-grade students are housed in the Commons/lunchroom in Warrior Hall. 
• Students must enter the main school entrance at Warrior Hall, and they do not need to be escorted down.
• Once in the Commons, students will sign themselves in, and the time is noted.

• For those enrolled for the semester only.

AM Explorers is in operation on half/early dismissal days.

There is no Explorers programming when school is not in session.

• Please see Holiday Camp for those options or contact Morries Walker or Maria Canty for Holiday Camp information. 

• Activity centers are available on various tables, offering manipulatives, drawing/coloring, games, and space for those who want to do homework or read. Once school begins, the Kindergarten students are escorted to their classroom and the others are released to their classes on their own.
