Runs at the school (3)
No travel. Children stay in the building or on school grounds.
McCall’s clubs page lists Girls on the Run on Mondays and Wednesdays after school, for girls in grades 3–5. The page gives no year, so confirm the team is running this season.
The hours are from McCall’s 2025–26 handbook. Sunrise says start and end times differ from site to site, so confirm this year’s. Programs run through June 8.
Clubs and teams run at the school: Chess, Debate, Crochet, two running clubs, and middle-school volleyball, basketball, softball, baseball and soccer.

The school’s page gives days and grades but no times and no school year. A few clubs meet before school; those are marked. Clubs don’t cover every afternoon, so treat them as a supplement to daily care.

Before you enroll
Pickup lists change every year, and most providers need a minimum number of children from a school. Ask each one to confirm McCall pickup for the days you need.
Ask what happens on early-dismissal days and district days off.
City rec centers post each year’s after-school listing late, so call before counting on a price or a spot. Their listings live in theParks & Rec finder.
McCall has a free before and after school program in the building, run by Sunrise of Philadelphia. After school runs until 5:30 pm.
Ten outside programs name McCall on their own pickup lists.
Options thin out after 5th grade. Zhang Sah takes children through 8th grade, Queen & Rook through age 16, and Butcher’s Sew Shop through 15 (Tuesdays and Thursdays from McCall). Sunrise takes grades 6–8 too.
