Afterschool Care

Dexter Community Services is pleased to offer school age care services at Bates School in addition to the many opportunities we offer for the Dexter Community.

Our staff are highly motivated individuals who are qualified, experienced and caring. Our licensed program has been in operation for over 20 years, offering extended services beyond the school calendar. The care program is closed when school is canceled due to inclement weather.

Anchor, Beacon & Wylie students are escorted by Dexter Community Education staff to their Aftercare classroom. Creekside students ride the bus to the bus hub and walk to their Aftercare classroom. Each classroom has a lead teacher and an assistant, all of whom are experienced and highly motivated caregivers.

After Care for Homeroom students will begin on Thursday, October 8. After Care is available for YF-6th grade students only on their scheduled in-building learning days according to their Group A (Monday/Thursday) or Group B (Tuesday/Friday) schedules.

Registration Schedule

Care spots are filled on a space-available basis. Our school-age programs are quite popular, so we recommend that parents do not delay registering their child if they will need care. We accept registration throughout the summer and into the school year, space permitting. Families who have not registered for school-age care by August 22 may not be able to start care until September 10, if there is space available at that time.

Registration for 2020/2021 School Year will open for current Care families (requesting full or part-time schedules), and the General Public (requesting five days per week) on April 1, 2020.

Registration for all families requesting full or part-time schedules opens May 1st.

No School Days

When school is scheduled not to be in session for either a full or half-day, we offer special programs for Young 5 through 6th grade students in Dexter Community Schools. You may choose which days to enroll your child. Our programs are fun, age appropriate, and incorporate a wide variety of activities. We plan projects, presentations, and off-site learning opportunities to develop and enhance children’s interests and awareness of the world around them. These programs are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. In the event that programs do not fill, they may be cancelled or plans may be adjusted. Register for special programs via the Community Education website.
