Tuition Assistance Information
Welcome to the Beacon After School Program, held in J.V. Forrestal, Sargent, and South Ave. Elementary schools. This program offers more than just childcare; the program offers exposure to many different activities; an opportunity for your child to try something new or learn more about something they already enjoy. It is our goal to provide a safe and fun recreational experience to all participating children while providing an opportunity for enrichment.
Each day, the children are dismissed from their classroom directly to the program, where they have about thirty minutes of free play and a snack. From about 4:00 to 4:50 is the first activity period followed by a second fifty-minute activity period. Scheduled activities are complete around 5:45. Parents are welcome to pick their child up at any time prior to 6:00.
Your child may attend any number of days per week. We will have instructors for specialized activities on certain days.
There are four sessions each school year. Registration for the next session is two weeks prior to the end of the current session. There is no break in the program between sessions; we operate each day BCSD has a 3:00 dismissal.
Below are some samples of the activities we offered in the 2022/2023 school year. Please note we are currently working out schedules for the 2023/2024 school year and will post soon. This is subject to change without notice. There are no make-up classes. Feel free to contact us in regards to any questions you may have about the activities.
