Yes, East Lyme Public Schools’ Before and After School programs and Extended Day programs have been recognized as some of the best programs on the shoreline. A single fee structure and a common schedule for all District programs have been developed and we believe that the fees and the schedule continue to be competitive with community programs of similar care. The fees reflect the quality programs your children have been or will be receiving in the coming months and years.

Please consider purchasing this important insurance policy for your child or children. We have seen too many instances where parents or guardians have been surprised to learn that students are not covered for accidents that happen in school. This insurance is especially important to purchase if you do not have health insurance or have limited insurance coverage. Your child’s safety is our most important concern and we are proud of our record here in East Lyme.
