2026-2027 After Care Enrollment Information
Enrollment for Full/Part-time due August 15, 2026
As we prepare for the 2026-2027 school year, we are excited to offer pre-enrollment for our before- and after-care program. The new enrollment process is essential to help us thoughtfully plan enrichment opportunities, ensure appropriate staffing levels, and accommodate the growing number of families in need of before and aftercare services.
To secure your child’s spot, we ask that you enroll for the full-time and part-time After Care plans before school begins. If you have not yet completed the form for full-time or part-time enrollment, please contact Lauren Howes, After Care Coordinator, to check on availability.
Families may still register directly on a day-to-day basis (subject to availability) for the per diem after care option here: Link for Per Diem Sign-up.
Our before and aftercare programs are licensed childcare facilities with the State of Maine. Therefore, we are required to maintain specific staff-to-student ratios across all grade levels. Careful pre-enrollment allows us to plan accordingly and continue providing a safe, structured, and enriching environment for all students.
Families are encouraged to plan After Care needs related to seasonal sports, choir, or other after-school activities. If your student requires After Care during a particular season, they must either be enrolled in one of the established attendance plans or reserved through the per diem sign-up portal. Students who are not enrolled in a plan or scheduled through the per diem system must be picked up at regular dismissal time.
Please note that at this time, Before Care enrollment beyond what you indicated on FACTS already is not required.
