Before and After School Care

Mills Park will be providing on-site before school and after school care for the 2008-2009 school year.

After carefully considering all options, we are excited to announce that we are teaming up with the Cary YMCA to run an on-site After School Program at Mills Park. Given the large number of families that expressed an interest in utilizing the After School program, it became clear to us that the YMCA would be best equipped and prepared to handle the program. Mills Park staff will continue with plans to run the on-site Before School program.

The hours that the Before School Program will operate next year will be from 7:00am until the start of school. The hours that the After School Program will operate next year will be from 3:45 until 6:00pm.

The costs for each program are as follows…

Before School

* $561.25/year ($61.25/month) for all participants.

The Before-School Program provides a safe, stimulating environment for students whose family situations require student supervision before school hours. Students who attend the school during the day are eligible for enrollment in the Before-School Program.

Mills Park staff will run our Before School Program. Click here to download a MS Word file with more information about the Before School Program.

After School

* $1,645/year ($135/month) for members of the YMCA.
* $2074/year ($170.75/month) for non-members of the YMCA.
