Key Features at Zilwaukee

Supervised Care and Activities
Students arriving early have a safe place to stay under supervision, with time allocated for quiet, constructive activities such as homework help, reading, board games, arts and crafts, computer time, or outdoor play depending on weather and location.
Homework and Academic Support
One popular element is time dedicated to completing homework daily, often assisted by program staff to reinforce learning before the school day begins.
Eligibility & Enrollment: Families request enrollment through the school office; applications for the extended day program are submitted at the school's office, and placements may be limited by capacity and eligibility criteria.
