Bus Service & Aftercare At GMPA

Students can take the bus to GMPA, and participate in a variety of creative activities before and after dance class!

Bus Service

Students at Brookside, Moretown, Crossett Brook, and Harwood can take the bus to GMPA.

Elementary school students arrive around 2:45 and will be provided a snack and story time before transitioning to dance class or Aftercare. Middle school students arrive around 3:45 and can grab a snack if time allows before going into dance class or joining Aftercare. All students taking the bus to GMPA should enroll in Bus Service through JackRabbit.

Aftercare

Aftercare is a structured experience designed to engage our students in projects and play while they wait for dance class or pick-up.

Students will join groups to craft, color, puzzle, or play at stations set up in the lobby. They can also choose to quietly engage in a solo activity like reading or homework.

All indoor Aftercare activities are seated and at a volume respectful to dance classes taking place in the studios.
Weather permitting and at staff's discretion, Aftercare may be moved outside to run and play in the grass!

All students Pre-K through 6th grade arriving at GMPA with over 10 minutes in the lobby before or after class should be enrolled in Aftercare to be provided with supervision. 

​Aftercare is scheduled in 60 minute blocks, with the exception of Middle School Block A. Dancers who need an Aftercare block for only 30 minutes will have the price of enrollment halved. Elementary School Aftercare and Middle School Aftercare are priced at different rates. More on Aftercare monthly rates here.
