Extended Hours

MCA offers a convenient Extended Hours program with After Care available every day at each of its locations. Participation is open to enrolled students for a flat fee. Currently, Extended Hours are available until 4:00PM.

MCA is also anticipating the reintroduction of a wide variety of fun, age appropriate enrichment programs through LEAF Approach to Enrichments.
