Enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year is now open with limited space. When programs at each school have reached their capacities, a waiting list will be created for families.
The Montgomery County Schools Child Care Program is a support for parents, allowing preschool through 5th-grade students to stay at their elementary school for an extended time before and/or after school.
Child care is a safe and familiar place for children to develop skills, discover hobbies, and form friendships. The program provides a variety of age-appropriate activities for school-age children. The program includes choices by the children within the framework of planned activities for different age groups. Our goal is that children can have fun and learn at the same time, in a safe and familiar setting.
