We are delighted to share that Alma Public Schools will be offering Before and After School childcare for our K-5 students! These programs will be housed at Luce Road Early Childhood Learning Center. Drop off will begin at 6 a.m for before school care and pick up for after school care will be until 6 p.m. Transportation will be available in the morning to bus students from Luce Road to their appropriate schools and from their schools to Luce Road for after school care. At a per day cost of $10 for before school care, $10 for after school care, or $15 for both we are hopeful these programs will bridge a gap in childcare needs in our community! "Drop in" or unscheduled care will not be available due to staffing requirements.
