After Care Services
Heart of Ohio Classical Academy’s After Care program is designed to provide a nurturing and engaging environment for students outside of regular school hours.
Cómo funciona
Starting this school year, before care will no longer be offered due to our new school start time of 7:45 AM. We will continue to offer after care, which will run from 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM each school day.
The after school program offers a variety of enriching activities such as arts and crafts, outdoor games, and structured playtime. The focus is on fostering social skills, creativity, and physical activity in a safe and supervised setting. Additionally, healthy snacks are provided to ensure students remain energized throughout the afternoon.
The After Care program at Heart of Ohio Classical Academy aims to complement the school’s classical curriculum by providing continuity of care and enrichment opportunities beyond the classroom. After Care is considered a separate program from offered extracurricular activities.

Welcome to the HOCA Aftercare Program! We are dedicated to providing a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for your children after the school day ends. Below is the essential information regarding our hours, pricing, policies, and program structure for the upcoming school year.
- Pre-Registration: Pre-registration will take place online via the designated pre-registration Google Form link provided by the school. Registration Form
- Pre-Payment Requirement: Students will only be allowed to attend aftercare if payment has been made beforehand. Parents must pay in advance for either the month, the semester, or the full school year.
- Payment Method: Payments will be collected via an Edlio link that will be electronically sent to parents at the end of July.
- Late Pick-Up Fee: This year, late pick-ups will strictly incur a cost of $1.00 per minute for every minute a student remains past closing time.
- After School Club Sibling Policy: Siblings of students who are signed up for any after school club MUST be registered members of aftercare. Parents can choose to sign up each sibling for the part-time rate of 1-3 days per week to cover this time.
To maintain a safe, respectful, and orderly environment, all participating students must follow the official HOCA student code of conduct at all times during aftercare. Standard school rules and behavioral expectations remain in effect.
Program Dismissal/Removal Policies: Families may face removal from the aftercare program under the following circumstances:
- Any student who does not follow the student code of conduct.
- Parents who have two (2) late pick-ups over 10 minutes within a 30-day period.
Our aftercare program runs daily to accommodate working families and busy schedules:
Daily Schedule: 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM
If a student is picked up after the end of official dismissal without being enrolled in After Care or without prior arrangement, the student will be taken to the After Care location in the school. If this should happen twice during a month, the student will be considered to have enrolled in either After Care, and the parent(s) or guardian(s) will be billed accordingly.
We offer flexible pre-payment plans based on full-time enrollment (with multi-child discounts) as well as a part-time option. Parents can choose to pay monthly, semi-annually (per 5-month semester), or annually (for the full 10-month school year).
Enrollment Option | Monthly Plan (10 payments) | Semester Plan (Twice a year / 5 months each) | Annual Plan (Once a year / 10 months) |
Full-Time (1 Child) | $100 / month | $500 / semester | $1,000 / year |
Full-Time (2 Children) | $200 / month | $1,000 / semester | $2,000 / year |
Full-Time (3 or More Children) | $250 / month | $1,250 / semester | $2,500 / year |
Part-Time (1-3 days per week, per child) | $85 / month | $425 / semester | $850 / year |
The cost includes the price of a daily packaged snack. Students are encouraged to bring their own water bottles. There is one cost for the entirety of the month – we are unable to accommodate requests for specific days only, or drop-in daily rates.
