Dragon Flight is licensed to care for children ages 5 to 15.

Absolutely not. We welcome any and all students into our before- and after-school care and enrichment programs.

For your convenience, we offer online registration for all Dragon Flight programs. Be prepared to enter four emergency contacts (name, phone number, address), as well as the name and contact information for your child's doctor, dentist, and hospital preference.

Children arrive at 3:25 p.m. and put their things away. They use the restroom and wash their hands, check in, and sit down to eat their snack. We then offer a variety of activities including daily outdoor and/or gym time, free play (we have a large selection of toys, books, and board games), science projects, arts and crafts, supervised Chromebook access on Tuesdays and Fridays, and homework club Monday through Thursday.

The state of Colorado mandates a staff to child ratio no greater than 1:15. Our child to staff ratio averages 1:12. However, there may be occasions where the ratio is 1:15.

If your child is registered for Dragon Flight and does not attend, you will be charged for the day of care. We staff Dragon Flight based on the number of children registered. We must pay our staff for their scheduled time, whether or not your child attends.

If you are late picking up your child from Dragon Flight, you will be charged $1/minute/child for every minute you are late.

Yes, you will be charged if your child is sent to drop-in care. If your child is not already registered for Dragon Flight drop-in care/fluctuating schedules, you will need to register your child and pay the $40/child registration fee within 24 hours. You will also need to pay the drop-in care fee.

Yes, Flagstaff accepts families receiving state assistance through CCAP. Families interested in the Child Care Assistance Program may visit the Colorado Office of Early Childhood website.

Both Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and FBI background checks are conducted.

Flagstaff follows the St. Vrain Valley School District school closing policy. If the district deems the weather is too bad for schools in the St. Vrain district to open -- or a delayed start is issued -- Dragon Flight will be closed as well. Please visit our Weather, School Closures, and Safety page or the St. Vrain Valley School District website for more information

We understand that children get sick (a lot), but for the health of our school community and our staff we do not provide sick care. If your child is sent home from school for vomiting, fever, or diarrhea, they may not return for after school Dragon Flight. Dragon Flight follows the same 24-hour sickness free rule as the school.

If your child is on medication, Dragon Flight requires parents to complete the appropriate Medical Form and submit it to the Dragon Flight director prior to the child attending Dragon Flight. We always have at least one person on staff that is Medication Administration certified. All staff members are CPR/First Aid and Standard Precaution certified as well.

Due to restrictions related to Covid, parents are not currently allowed in the building for drop-off or pick up. Upon arriving at the school, please text Dragon Flight directly at (720) 442-6023 with your name and your child's name. A Dragon Flight staff member will meet you at the cafeteria doors to greet/release your student.

A disposable lunch and two snacks should be sent with your child for both half- and full-day care, unless otherwise noted. Parents should send an afternoon snack for after school care. Snacks will not be provided.

Flagstaff Academy and Dragon Flight utilize a multi-tiered Restorative Practices approach within the school's culture that is embraced by the school leadership, staff, and students. The result of this approach is a community that is committed to self-responsibility, self-discipline, and self-awareness of how our words and actions impact one another. For more information, visit our Dragon Culture page.

In an emergency, we follow the four actions: Lockout, Lockdown, Evacuate, Shelter.

We offer a homework club Monday through Thursday beginning at 4:30 p.m. We have paper, pencils, and Chromebooks available. Staff are happy to assist if students need help working through problems. There is no extra charge for a student to participate in homework club.

Children that do not have homework will have the opportunity to read to themselves, or listen to stories read by staff.

Absolutely. We consistently have middle school students in attendance. Dragon Flight is a great opportunity for them to catch up on classwork, socialize with friends, or even read to the younger children.
