Community-Based Child Care Options for Before and After School Child Care

Financial assistance may be available.

If you are in need of before and/or after school child care we have listed some community resources that may be helpful.  As long as the program is located in your school zone, transportation to the after-school program will be provided.  Parents will need to communicate with the transportation department to arrange for alternate pick up/drop off locations.
