SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS
D e x t e r C o m m u n i t y E d ucation offers
students need-based scholarships for most of
our programs to Dexter School District Families.
We offer one per child per catalog. Generally,
students who qualify for free lunch through the
schools qualify for a scholarship of up to $100
for one class; students who qualify for reduced
lunch may be eligible for a partial scholarship.
We may also offer scholarships for families with
special circumstances on a case-by-case basis.
We are not able to offer scholarships for programs
that are not run by Community Education, nor for
classes that do not meet minimum enrollments.
All scholarships require the Director’s approval.
If you register for a class using a scholarship and
cancel less than one week prior to start date,
you will forfeit your scholarship for that semester.
To apply for a Community Education
scholarship, fill out the scholarship application
form (available from our office and on our
website) and return it to our office as soon as
you know you are interested. We will confirm
your eligibility, but hold registration until the class
meets minimum enrollment to run. Your “place
in line” for registration is reserved. When the
class meets the minimum, we will register your
child and send you confirmation of enrollment.
REMEMBER TO
VOTE Nov. 8!

more than their first name, if we identify them
at all. Enrollment in our programs constitutes

INFORMATION ABOUT YOUTH PROGRAMMING
TRANSPORTATION TO AFTERSCHOOL CLASSES
If your child is enrolled in our afterschool care program and s/he takes a class
in their care building, our Class to Care option allows them to return to care
following class.
We do not provide transportation or escorts between buildings for
afterschool classes. If your child takes an afterschool class in a different
building than they attend, they may walk to the building alone as long as this
does not involve crossing Baker Rd. Creekside students who attend afterschool
programs at Wylie, Mill Creek, Bates, or Cornerstone will take the shuttle to the
bus loop behind Wylie and walk from there. Parents of young children (K-2)
may want to practice walking their child to class the first few times, or make
arrangements for someone to walk them regularly. It really depends on each
child’s independence and comfort level. Please inform your child’s classroom
teacher of any afterschool classes they take, so the teacher can remind the child
of the arrangement at dismissal.
LATE PICKUPS
In the event that a parent does not arrive on time to pick up a child from a Community
Education class, the instructor will wait with the student for 5 minutes, then walk
him or her to the Care Room if it is before 6:00pm. Our Program Coordinator
will locate parents. If you know you will be late, please contact our office ASAP
by calling 424-4180, ext. 1302. In the event that a child is not picked up within
60 minutes of class ending without any contact from parents, we must contact
the sheriff’s department per State of MI policy.
CONTACT INFORMATION
Please update your family contact information every time you register for a course.
Pay special attention to your primary phone number and email address. These
are the main ways we contact parents with updates including cancellations,
location changes, or other timely information. We do not have access to the
schools’ student databases.
CHANGES IN PLANS
If your child will not attend a Community Education class as scheduled, please
notify our office in advance by calling 424-4180. Schools do not notify us when
students go home sick or are scheduled for vacation. Absence notification is
especially important with afterschool classes because our staff take attendance
to make sure all students arrive safely from their buildings. If a student doesn’t
arrive as planned, we have to contact the buses and parents to find them.
LAST-MINUTE CANCELLATIONS
In the event that we must cancel a class with short notice, we notify buildings so
the office can make an announcement for staff and students. We also call and
email parents of children in the class. Families should have a back-up plan in place
prior to this happening so the student knows whether to take the bus or go home
with a friend, etc. In the event that a child is left at school after a cancellation, our
office will watch them while we try to contact parents and emergency contacts.
LOST AND FOUND
If your child leaves an item at an afterschool class, please check with that
building’s office first. If the item isn’t there, feel free to call our office to check on it.

EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS
Dexter Community Education Preschool has been providing
programs for young children from the Dexter Community for many years.
We offer year-round, full-day programs for infants up to kindergarten
aged children, and school year programs for half-day preschoolers.
Our mission is to provide a warm, safe, and caring environment where
children can learn and explore the world around them. We promote
young children’s physical, social, and emotional growth through
developmentally appropriate, child-directed activities and routines.
Dexter Preschool Teachers are Michigan Certified Elementary Teachers.
Full Day Early Childhood Programs
We offer full-day care for children ages 6 weeks through five years
old. Parents may choose between two, three, and five days of
care per week. A full day is up to ten hours between 7am and 6pm;

Our half-day programs for three- and four-year-olds include part-time
and full-time (five half days) as well as morning or afternoon options.
Our school-year programs follow the Dexter Community Schools

GSRP Preschool
The Great Start Readiness Program is a State of Michigan grant funded
preschool program for at-risk four-year-old students which may be
tuition-free for qualifying families. The program requires children to be
age four by September 1. Risk factors include low income, diagnosed
disability or developmental delay, severe or challenging behavior, nonEnglish speaking household, low parental education, child abuse or
neglect, and environmental risks. Dexter’s GSRP classrooms are part
of our Half Day Preschool Program. For more information about GSRP,
please visit www.washtenawpreschool.org.
Fees
Our fees are published on our website. Payment is due by the 15th
day of the month before care is to occur. Jenkins ECLC offers current
Dexter Community Schools staff a discount on regular tuition rates.
Please inquire at our office for those rates if you are a DCS staff member.
How to Enroll in Jenkins ECLC
We enroll children in our year-round programs on a rolling
basis as space becomes available. If you are expecting an infant
or will be moving to the area, we recommend that you contact us as
soon as possible in order to determine whether we will have space
for your child(ren).
Enrollment Priority for all our programs is as follows: currently
enrolled families, then Dexter Community Schools staff, then the
general public. Currently enrolled school-year families’ spots are not
guaranteed outside of the enrollment period. All openings are filled
on a first come, first served basis within the priority list.

SCHOOL-AGE CHILD CARE
Dexter Community Education Child Care is a support service provided
for working families which includes after school care, non-school day
special programs, and spring break. We specialize in “out-of school time”
enrichment and recreation programs for Young Fives to Grade 6. Our
child care services are licensed by the state and we employ qualified,
experienced, caring staff to offer fun activities specifically designed for
each grade level. Children participate in age-appropriate activities, games,
projects, and indoor & outdoor play. They will have time for reading
and homework by choice, as well as free time to build social skills, and
share interests and talents. We follow DIstrict policies and procedures.
We maintain a safe, nurturing, warm and welcoming environment in all
centers. For complete information on our Child Care programs, policies,
and fees, go to www.dexterschools.org, then Departments and select
Community Education.
After School Child Care Daily Fees:
afternoon fee: $15 class-to-care fee: $7
After School Program: Programs are offered Monday thru Friday at
Bates, Cornerstone, Wylie (for Creekside students, too). Centers open at
school dismissal and stay open until 6:00pm. Parents may choose from
2-5 days of care per week.
Class to Care Program: If class doesn’t begin immediately after school,
Class to Care allows students to stay in their own building with peers in
a safe, fun environment until the class begins for a nominal fee of $7 per
day. Our staff will escort your child to/from their Community Education
class in the same building. Care is available after classes as well, until
Care ends at 6 p.m. Parents sign up for Class to Care only on those days
you actually need it.

Education Specialist Cassiana Castilho-Lima at 734-424-4180, extension

Community Education offers child care on the district’s scheduled no
school days. When school is not in session for either a half or full
day, child care is available for Young Fives through the sixth grade.
Age appropriate activities are planned including: indoor or outdoor
group games, off-site field trips, in-house presentations, craft projects,
movies and lots of other fun! The program is located at Wylie School.
Half day participants from Bates and Cornerstone will be escorted to
Wylie by Care Staff. Creekside students ride the bus to the hub and
walk around to the Wylie entrance. On full days, all students should
be dropped off at Wylie.

Architecture 101
If you’ve ever gazed up at a sky scraper and wondered
how those towering structures stay upright, or driven
across a bridge and marveled at the engineering
required to hold the weight of so many vehicles, or
asked yourself “why does the Leaning Tower of Pisa
lean?” then you will love this unit. We’ll explore the
architecture and engineering fundamentals behind
some well-known structures such as Dubai’s Burj
Khalifa tower and San Francisco’s Golden Gate
Bridge. Participants will put their building skills to
test as we transform common LEGO Bricks into
architectural wonders. Maybe they will be inspired
to design their own amazing buildings someday!
