Birney's After School Enrichment (ASE) Opportunities 

We offer a combination of free and fee-based after-school enrichment (ASE) classes such as garden, soccer, golf, robotics, engineering, Spanish, chess, music and dance. Check the BeeKeeper Alliance ASE page for more information. These typically start two to three weeks after the term begins so we can communicate with vendors and provide schedules to families.  Families work directly with the vendors to sign up.

Before and After School Care - Program Choices

For before and after school care needs, we have two before/after-school programs: our ASES grant-funded Prime Time program is free, but families qualify based on certain criteria and must commit to the full program. 

We also offer a more flexible, but fee-based program through SAY San Diego. These two programs run daily throughout the year from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

FAQs

I have a question about before- and after-school programs. I was late to the game, but I did sign up for my child to hopefully be part of any before or after school activities. Any idea when I’ll hear back if he was accepted or not? 

We typically run a waiting list for the first few weeks of PrimeTime. You can contact Ms. Kelly at [email protected] to inquire about your position/existence on the waiting list. 

SAY San Diego runs a fee-based program which might be easier to get into, and you can email them at [email protected] or call 858-565-4148. If you need financial assistance, mention that when you call because there may be financial aid available.

PrimeTime applications are available at the school office or on the PrimeTime website.

Participants are required to attend PrimeTime every day for the full range of hours. After three violations, students will lose their space in the program.
