Extended Day Program - Before/After Care

We understand how important before and after school care is to working families in AAPS. Rec & Ed's Before/After Care program promotes children's wellbeing through enrichment activities, positive relationships, and a safe environment. Rec & Ed is actively hiring qualified staff for Fall 2022 with the intention of adding at least two more sites beyond the current five. Our child care licenses are up-to-date in 13 additional buildings -- all we need is staff. 

Join Our Friendly and Caring Team!

To attract and retain staff, we have increased pay rates for all positions, added benefits, and are offering a fall financial bonus. Schedules are flexible, with both part-time and full-time opportunities ranging from assistant to program director. Find out more on our employment opportunities page.

Schedule
Three schedules are available for families:

• Full time - AM and PM 5 days/week
• AM only - 5 days/week
• PM only - 5 days/week

Fees

As an organization, we must balance paying employees a competitive wage and benefits with keeping the prices affordable for families. Fees for the 2022-23 school year will increase to offer a higher base pay for all positions, provide benefits, and give fall retention bonuses.

Assistance for Program Fees

Programs are available to families needing financial assistance who meet income eligibility requirements:

• The Michigan Tri-Share Program, coordinated locally by the Child Care Network. More information here.
• The Childcare Network has a family support program. More information here.

Families may apply for the standard scholarship at any time. This scholarship requires additional documentation.
