Before and After School Program

The KidsCare program, operated by the SPCS Education Foundation, provides essential before and after-school care at Springfield Elementary, supporting both elementary schools in our community. We offer engaging programming during regular school days, early dismissals, non-school days, and throughout summer vacation.

KidsCare operates under a school-age license, ensuring a safe and enriching environment for children currently enrolled in SPCS public schools, from the first day of kindergarten through sixth grade. Please note that incoming kindergartners are not eligible to participate in our summer program until they have completed their kindergarten year.

Join us at KidsCare where your child can learn, play, and grow in a supportive setting!
