The Lion’s Den is the extended care program of Emmanuel Lutheran Church. The Lion’s Den is an extension program of Emmanuel Lutheran Church offering a safe, secure place for its school children to receive extended Christian training while they wait to be picked up from our school’s campus. Children are supervised by a Lion’s Den staff member and have the opportunity to participate in a variety of structured activities. The morning session begins at 7amand dismisses the children to their classrooms at 8am. The afternoon session begins at 3:15pm and ends at 6:15pm. While the morning session is less structured, the afternoon session will follow the outlined schedule below.

The annual registration fee is $20.00 for each student attending The Lion’s Den extended care program. The registration fee will be assessed when a student begins using the program, however the fee will not be collected until the second time a student participates in extended care. Extended care is billed at the rate of $2.50 per student per half-hour or fraction thereof. Families using The Lion’s Den will need to set up a prepaid account in the school office.  This account may be set up during registration.  Account balances will be sent home on a regular basis.  Parents will be notified if the account drops below a certain level so they can add to the account.   
The Lion’s Den staff includes Mrs. Heather Hoffman and Miss Sarah Bruce, both members of Emmanuel Lutheran Church.
