Before/After School Care Program

We help busy families by offering a safe and fun place for students before and after class. Our Circle of Care program is available 6:45-8:05 a.m. and 3:20-5:30 p.m (1:30-5:30 p.m. on Wednesdays). Care for 2019-2020 is $4/hour charged in 15 minute increments. You tell us what you plan to use regularly for our staffing purposes, then you pay for exactly what you actually use! 

Can my child participate in a club and then go to Circle of Care? Certainly! Your child will be checked in after the meeting, and you will pay for care care from that time until pickup.

What do students do at K-8 Circle of Care? Students enjoy a snack provided by school and time for free play with friends, homework, and activities. The Grout Museum and Hartman Reserve Nature Center visit several times a month with themed programming.
