Child Care

Enrollment for the 2026–2027 Montgomery County Schools Child Care Program is now open. Space is limited at each location, and once a site reaches capacity, families will be placed on a waiting list.

The Montgomery County Schools Child Care Program serves students in preschool through 5th grade, providing quality care before and after the school day in a safe, familiar school environment.

Our program is designed to give children a place where they can learn, play, explore new interests, and build lasting friendships. Each day includes a variety of age-appropriate activities that encourage creativity, independence, and social development while giving children opportunities to make choices aligned with their interests.

At Montgomery County Schools, our goal is to provide a caring, engaging environment where every child feels safe, supported, and excited to learn and have fun.
