Our Before and After Care programs strive to provide a safe and enriching environment that allows students to feel welcomed and comfortable during their time with us. Students should be excited to come to our programs, as we strive to provide a secure and happy space for children to explore, discover, create, socialize and play. We offer Before and After Care at Heights Elementary, Cottage St. Elementary, and East Elementary so students will remain in the school they attend. Before Care drop-off begins at 7:15 AM and After Care operates until 6:00 PM.
Our programs communicate with building and district administrators, teachers, aides, and building counselors, to ensure that every student enrolled in our program is set up for success while in our care. To learn more, please see our Program Information and Policies. If you have any questions or would like to report your child's absence from After Care, please email: CommunityEdAbsences@sharonschools.net or call Bridget Maddalena at (781) 784-1574 x 2 to provide your child's name, grade, and school they attend. We ask that any absences be reported before 2:00 pm.
