Bancroft Elementary School for the 2020-2021 School Year

The Andover Recreation Division is proud to offer our licensed, extended-day program for children in Grades K–5 at Bancroft Elementary School. Andover Kid Care is a great solution for busy working families that combines fun and learning with the safety and convenience of a high-quality afterschool program right inside your child’s school. Andover Kid Care is licensed by the Department of Early Education and Care.

The program has been revised to a two day program based on assigned in-school learning days. Your child must be registered for two days (no more, no less) and those days will be their in-school learning days. The registration fee will be $200/month.

If you wish to register your child for the revised Kid Care program, forms will be available at the Town Offices. Please call the Recreation Office (978-623-8340) upon arrival and someone will come out to assist you. Please be aware you will need to fill out multiple forms and provide a $25/child non-refundable deposit. 

Kid Care students will be dismissed to the cafeteria. Children will be divided into two groups, K-2 and 3-5, depending on the number of children enrolled in the program. Parents will not be allowed to enter the schools for pick up. Instead, parents will be asked to call the Director's phone upon arrival and your child/ren will be escorted out by a Kid Care staff member. 

Students and staff will be required to wear masks for the duration of the program, except during snack time and mask breaks.

There is NO transportation for this program.
