JES Dragon Den Program

The Dragon Den After School Program provides parents/guardians with peace of mind by offering high-quality after-school childcare from the end of the school day until 6 pm, matching the regular school days as specified in the JCS annual school calendar. For scheduled early release days, the program extends its services from 11:30 am to 6:00 pm.
Enrollment is open to students in Pre-K, kindergarten, first, and second grade, regardless of their district status and costs $55 per week.
Students will be grouped according to their grade level where they will engage in a range of activities.

The Dragon Den Summer Camp Program offers parents/guardians peace of mind by providing quality child care during the summer break.
The camp typically operates from the week after teachers' post-planning to the week before pre-planning, excluding national holidays like Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.
The cost for the Dragon Den Summer Camp is $175 per week, and participants are required to pay for the entire summer program.
Enrollment is open to students entering kindergarten, first, and second grade in the upcoming school year.
Currently, the program only accepts in-district upcoming kindergarteners, while out-of-district first and second graders can apply.
Parents of soon-to-be third graders should inquire about the Summer PLUS program at Jefferson Academy.
Operating hours are from 7 am to 6 pm with qualified staff supervising the students.
Students will be grouped by grade level and engage a range of activities.
Optional field trips are available at an extra cost.
Throughout the summer, students will enjoy complimentary treats, lunches, and special activities as a token of appreciation for their participation in the program.
