Amistad Life
Extended Day: Before & After School (Mañanitas & TICA)
For families who need care before or after the school day, Amistad offers extended day programs that keep the same warm, bilingual community going beyond regular hours.
Before school — Mañanitas
Amistad's before-school program, Mañanitas, opens at 7:30 AM so families have a caring, bilingual space for children to arrive early, settle in, and start the day with breakfast and community before class begins.
After school — TICA
Amistad's after-school program, TICA, runs until 5:30 PM with supervised care, activities, and connection for K-8 students once the school day ends.
Rates
| Program | Monthly | Drop-in |
|---|---|---|
| Before school (Mañanitas) | $145 | $50 / day |
| After school (TICA) | $334 | $89 / day |
| Before & after school combined (Mañanitas + TICA) | $445 | $111 / day |
Camps and school breaks
Beyond our before- and after-school programs (Mañanitas and TICA), Amistad runs seasonal camps that keep students engaged during school breaks. See our Summer Camps page for dates, activities, and registration.
Tuition and financial aid
Extended care is billed separately from tuition. Full tuition rates and financial aid details are on our Tuition & Financial Aid page.
After the bell
Time to build something together
Afternoons in our after-school program (TICA) look like this: snacks, homework, and long stretches of unhurried time where a thousand-piece puzzle becomes a group project. Same teachers, same two languages, slower pace.
