EBCDC Before and After School, and Back-up Care (and Summer Camp)         ...on the Jackson Day School campus
      --Online Registration Links at the bottom of this page--

When Early Beginnings opened in 2005 we had one School Age Before/After School room with 24 children it. After years of graduating preschoolers to Kindergarten and not having space to enroll them in the After school Class, EBCDC moved the School Age room to a leased facility where it became the School-Age "Program" and increased the student enrollment. Eventually that After School Program moved to a leased school building and spawned Mountain Island Day School as an accredited K-12 private school in 2009. The two programs worked in tandem and moved again to a larger location on Little Rock Road. In 2017 Mountain Island Day School converted to become Mountain Island Day Community Charter School (later in 2021 to be renamed Jackson Day School) and the programs now operate as two separate organizations on the same campus, still working together to meet the Educational and Care needs of our community. 

 

Early Beginnings operates the Before/After School and Summer Camp programs on the Jackson Day School campus. Our goal every day is to provide a positive and engaging atmosphere in a Christian environment for our students outside of their regular school day. 

​

During Before-School care, students gather together for low-key socializing, table activities, a provided breakfast snack, and morning prayer to prepare them for their day ahead.

​

In After-School, students have a catered afternoon meal and rotate through activities such as Homework time, Playground time, Group play, weekly Chapel (when covid guidelines allow), and free time.

 

After-School students who have extracurricular activities on campus after the school day ends are taken to them by school staff and then are picked up by staff to rejoin the after-school group until they are picked up by their parents.
