Please review the following extended care options PRD provides during the school year.
Schoolmates (Grades TK–5)

Schoolmates is a play based program that provides after-school care for elementary school-aged children (TK–5th Grades) during the academic school year. At Schoolmates, children learn teamwork and cooperation, while developing intellectually, physically, and creatively through structured recreational and educational activities.
SM Konnex (Grade TK–5)
Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday from 2:00–3:00 pm (program does not meet on Wednesdays)
SM Konnex is a one-hour play based program specifically designed for children who are released from school at 2:00 pm. This program meets from 2:00–3:00 pm.
Program Note: At the time of online registration, all entries for SM Konnex will be automatically placed on a waitlist. PRD staff will enroll and prioritize students based on Schoolmates/Minimates enrollment, in timestamp order.
PRD staff will confirm via email, your child's enrollment in SM Konnex. Please make sure that you have a stored payment option on file to complete the transaction (
see Program Hours & Tuition Payments tile for details). Failure to do so may result in not securing a spot at SM Konnex.
