After School Program – 2022/2023
Session 3 10 weeks 1/30 – 3/31
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.
The fees for the programs are as follows:
- One day per week – $160.00 per session
- Two days per week – $320.00 per session
- Three days per week – $480.00 per session
- Four days per week – $640.00 per session
- Five days per week – $750.00 per session
50% of tuition is due at the time of registration. The balance must be paid in full prior to enrolling in any other programs.
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. The dates of session 3 are January 30th to March 31st. 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.
