Summer Child Care

Summer Program

Any grade school or middle school age child is welcome to register for Willard's all-day summer program. Children must have completed kindergarten and not yet started 9th grade to attend the summer program. The children are placed in age appropriate groups and they participate in weekly theme based activities. Swimming and field trips supplement their weekly schedule.

Care is available from 6:30a.m. to 6:00p.m., Monday through Friday. Fees are paid on a weekly basis and full time and part time fees are available. The older children (4th through 8th grades) are also eligible for a 1/2 day fee to allow them the flexibility of summer. There is an additional registration fee required that covers their swimming and transportation costs for the summer.

Breakfast and lunch are provided through the Lincoln Lancaster Health Department's Summer Nutrition Program. Willard supplies an afternoon snack as well.
