Lions Lair Child Care Program

Before/After School and Summer Camp

What is Lions Lair?

Lions Lair is Notre Dame Academy’s before & after school and summer camp program. It is available to all students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Lions Lair strives to provide a safe and fun environment for all students who need care outside of the normal school day.

Students will have the opportunity to participate in daily activities including homework help, creative projects, organized group games and free play. In Lions Lair, students will spend time in the school cafeteria, gymnasium and outside on the playground. An afternoon snack will be provided for students attending after school.

Our Lions Lair hours include before school: 7:30 a.m. to 8:40 a.m. After school: 3:55 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. as well as on select non-school days from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The non-school day program does require registering in advance. Space is limited.

There is an annual registration fee (per family) of $45 to attend Lions Lair. We charge $9 per time block, per student on regular school days. On non-school days, the fee is $60 per student, per day.
