Before and After School Programs

We have a long tradition of serving Lincoln with quality supervised play for children and youth. Much has changed over the years, and we believe supervised, safe, fun, and meaningful out-of-school time opportunities are as important as ever. Our programs are supervised by caring professionals who promote positive environments, supportive relationships, and constructive activities to meet the developmental needs of children and youth.

These programs offer supervised, organized recreation for kids at recreation centers and at McPhee and Everett Elementary Schools. Registration for Before and After School programs will begin in mid-April of that year.

Before School Fee: $155.00 per month
After School Fee: $161.00 per month
Dates: August 2023 - May 2024*

*There will be no After School Recreation one Tuesday a month when elementary schools dismiss early for PLC days. As part of our continuous improvement efforts, we are making a commitment to ongoing, monthly staff training on PLC days. The program will be held August 14-16.
