Daycroft’s Programs and Services

Before-School Care and After-School Care at Daycroft

Daycroft recognizes the needs of working parents and provides a safe, play-filled environment for students before class time begins and after class time ends.

Before-school care begins at 7:30 am at both campuses. After-school care runs until 5:30 pm at the Oakbrook preprimary campus, and 5:45 pm at the Zeeb elementary campus. Activities include outside play, crafts, and story telling.

Daycroft’s Lunch Program

Lunch is an important part of the students’ day at Daycroft Montessori School — and not just for nutrition. Students at the Oakbrook preprimary campus eat lunch in their classroom, practicing the grace and courtesy lessons they have learned during class time. After lunch, students go either to the nap room to rest, or to the “wake-up room” for additional activity.

At the Zeeb elementary campus, students eat in the multi-purpose room, sitting at round tables in groups of six to practice the courteous manners they have learned in the classroom settings. Individual place settings, proper use of napkins, and conversation with friends are normal parts of the lunch.

Summer Camp

Daycroft offers Summer Camp at both our Oakbrook preprimary and Zeeb elementary campuses. Each program offers interesting, exciting, and stimulating activities for children while they are out of school for the summer.

Children may register for any number of weeks or the whole summer, and before-care and after-care hours are offered. Students who do not attend Daycroft Montessori School may register for our Summer Camp programs.
