Extended attendance
On professional development days, parent conference days, and during Christmas and Easter holidays, Simbað is open all day from 8am to 5pm with prior registration. There is an additional charge for extended stays on these days. Simbað is closed during the school's winter holidays.
Daily activities
We emphasize diversity in light of our diverse group of children, and we were likely the first after-school program to receive Reykjavík City's Rainbow Certification.

Child prosperity
The Act on the Integration of Services in the Interest of Children’s Prosperity has come into effect. The goal is to ensure children and guardians receive the right assistance, at the right time, from the right parties. Families and children in need of early support have guaranteed access to a prosperity contact in the child's immediate environment, such as in preschool or primary school. The prosperity contact offers information and guidance on services and ensures that children and guardians have unhindered access to these services. Children, youth, and guardians can reach the school prosperity contact to request integrated services.
Information on the prosperity contacts for children at the Simbað after-school program can be found on the website of Hamraskóli.
