    Many of our schools offer safe and stimulating Before and After School Programs, through the schools themselves or third-party providers. Contact your school to learn what's available.

    Students must be five years old on or before August 31 of the current school year to enroll in the program. Most Before School Programs begin at 7 a.m. After School Programs end at 6 p.m.

    Enrolling and paying for services

    We provided programs: Your school will have student enrollment forms, parent information sheets and payment schedules based on its bell schedule.

    There are separate $15, non-refundable registration fees in the Before and After School Programs. Fees are based on a $2.75 per hour rate and apply to all children in a family.

    Many Before/After School fees can be paid for through the WCPSS Online School Payment Portal once the student is registered at their school.
