Welcome to the Before and After School Program
Family well-being can be assisted when parents know their children are well cared for. The Before and After School Programs are designed to meet this need with conveniently located, well-staffed sites. The programs strive to provide both indoor and outdoor recreational activities for your child.
Children will be allowed time to work on homework at parents' request, but the programs are not designed to be a tutorial service.
