St. Agatha School community service, offering parents on-site quality child care. Care is available for children in Pre- Kindergarten through 6th grade* on all school days (according to the St. Agatha School calendar), from 6:00am until 7:45am and from 3:15pm until 6:00pm on regular school days.

During morning care, children may bring breakfast items from home that need minimal assistance to serve. Time is spent on homework and quiet activities.
