Parents are expected to pick up their children by the program end of 6:00 pm. If a child remains after 6:00 pm the staff will attempt to contact either the parent or someone on the child’s emergency contact list. Any child not picked up by 6:00 pm will incur an additional charge of $20 for every 15 minutes late.

Signing in/out

Students will be signed in by their parents or guardian in the morning and signed out at the end of the day. Only authorized individuals with a valid ID will be allowed to pick up your child from the program.

Schedule for the program

Children will arrive at the All Purpose room at dismissal. Attendance will be taken, and a nutritious snack will be served at this time. Snacks are included in the CAREs program, and will comply with the State of New Jersey After School Snack Program.

Following snack, children will have the opportunity to complete their homework in a quiet environment with supervision and assistance from our staff members. Staff will be available to answer any general homework questions and supply writing utensils to assist the children. For those who do not have homework, they will be encouraged to participate in a quiet activity during this time.

For the remainder of the afternoon, the children will be encouraged to participate in either self directed or group activities. The school’s gym will be used as our indoor recreation area, and outdoor play equipment will be used when the weather permits. Our program will have a variety of activities and sporting equipment available daily, and special programs and crafts will be scheduled. A schedule of these special activities will be emailed to participants.

If a student would normally be a walker, can they walk home with their parents’ permission at a designated time?
No, a parent/guardian must pick their child(ren) up from the BR CAREs program. Safety and accountability is our main concern and as such we require a parent/guardian to pick up.

If a parent has already paid for a month and they decide they no longer want to utilize the program; can they use their unused days to apply that to a purchase of a punch card?

Yes, in the case of an emergency the Manager will give your medical insurance information to the front desk at the hospital.

No, there is no nurse on site.

If a child is injured and needs medical attention, can my child go to the hospital of the parents choosing?
