  The Let Grow Play Club — a new activity we are offering where kids make their own fun, without adults organizing it — looks like “just plain fun.” But that “fun” is how Mother Nature disguises the hard work. Because it is fun to play ball, kids learn the difficult skills of focus, compromise, and empathy. Play jacks, you learn patience. Play superheroes, you learn to imagine. Play freeze-tag, you learn self-control.

  But what if you are left out? You adjust to fit in, or find a group where you do.

  Fall down? You get back up so you can keep playing.

  Someone’s cheating? You figure out how to make things work — so you can play some more.

  When you played as a kid, was an adult always with you? No.

  Did you figure out how to deal with a bossy-pants? A cheater? A friend who turned on you? Yes. Was it painful? Probably.

  Those were growing pains. To assume we could deal with these discomforts but our kids cannot is untrue.

  The Let Grow Play Club gives kids back the resilience-building playtime they need. It is supervised by adults, but they do not organize the fun or solve the spats. The chance to collaborate with friends, resolve disputes, and bounce back from disappointments are confidence-and-character-building opportunities. At Play Club, kids get the social interaction they need to develop into empowered adults.

• What is After-School Late Pick up?

  New After-School Late Pick-Up Option!

  Beginning August 19, we will offer an additional Late Pick-Up option for students in Kindergarten through Grade 5. This option allows students to remain in Aftercare from dismissal until 4:15 p.m.

  During this extended pick-up window, students will remain with their ACE grade-level groups and participate in:

  • Outdoor play
  • Snack time
  • Dedicated homework time

  At 4:15 p.m., all Late Pick-Up students will be escorted to the Green Dot area for dismissal. Pick-up will only be available through the Green Dot drive-thru at this designated time.

  This option is intended for families who need a short extension after dismissal and would like their child to remain safely supervised in the ACE program until 4:15 p.m.

  Important Information:

  • If your child needs care after 4:15 p.m., they must be registered for the full ACE program.
  • Students in WOW or PreK must be registered for the full ACE program and are not eligible for the Late Pick-Up option.
  • If your WOW or PreK student has a sibling enrolled in Late Pick-Up, we can bring your younger student to the 4:15 p.m. Green Dot dismissal upon your request.

  The 9-week Late Pick-Up option is $800.00. This program provides care until 4:15 p.m. Students must be picked up by 4:15 p.m.; early pick-up is always welcome.

  All students participating in ACE are expected to follow the rules, policies, and behavioral expectations outlined in The Benjamin School Student-Parent Handbook.
