BEFORE/AFTER CARE
Bethesda Christian School is pleased to provide both Before and After Care for students who are enrolled at BCS. In Before/After Care, your child will be loved and welcomed each and every day. At this time, pre-registration is not required.
BEFORE CARE:
For BCS families who need to drop students off prior to 8:00 AM.
Grades: Pre-K-4th Grades
Hours: 7:00AM-8:00AM (Monday-Friday on school days)
Where: Enter Door 1, Elementary Gym, to be escorted to the Before Care classroom.
Cost: $8/hr., for any portion of the hour. Pre-registration is not required.
Grades 5-12 are not charged for Before Care and may be dropped off at Door 3 by 7:15 AM.
*There is NO Before Care on scheduled delayed starts (per the school calendar). Weather-relayed delayed starts will have Before Care services available from 9:00AM.
SAMPLE BEFORE CARE AGENDA
Students read, interact with others in play, work puzzles, draw and color, and just enjoy some quiet morning activity time before the busy school day begins. Students may bring a breakfast snack to eat during this time. The Before Care teacher prays with students before they leave to join others for the school day.
AFTER CARE:
BCS offers After Care for students in need of a later pick-up time due to work or other schedules.
Grades: Pre-K-4th Grades
Hours: 3:45PM-5:45PM (Monday-Friday on school days)
Cost: $8/hour for any portion of the hour under pre-registration (Please note, there is a chargeable $5/per each 5 minute increment for pickups after 5:45PM.)
Pre-registration is required with two options:
Option #1: $60 pre-registration fee for the 5 day a week plan (Monday-Friday when school is in session).
Option #2: $40 pre-registration fee for the 3 day a week plan (flexible any 3 days per week).
*Note that beyond the 3 days, you will be charged the non-registered hourly rate.
Non-registered students: $16/hr.
*It is our desire to provide aftercare for working parents, hence the pre-registration. Our space and personnel do not allow aftercare to be an occasional babysitting service.
