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

class meets the minimum, we will register your
child and send you confirmation of enrollment.

EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS
6
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 and five days of care
per week. A full day is up to ten hours between 7am and 6pm;
schedules must be determined in advance. No drop-in care or
switching days. All our programs follow the HighScope curriculum.
For more information about care for a particular age group, as well as
policies, fees, and calendar info, visit www.dextercommunityed.com.

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). We currently have a wait list for Older Infants and
Toddlers.
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.

AFter School 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 are part of the district family, parallel district procedures, and value
the district’s commitment to excellence. We maintain a safe, nurturing,
warm and welcoming environment in all centers. We are a special place
where children can play and learn in an atmosphere of care and trust.
Families have many options to consider, we hope you will “stay in school
and connect with us!” For complete information on our Child Care programs,
policies, and fees, go to www.dexterschools.org, then Departments and
select Community Education.

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.

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. Please see above for more information.
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 Community Education Office 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.

Transportation Timeline
If you like planes, trains and automobiles, then this unit
is for you! Each week, students will build motorized
models of a dragster, a railroad crossing gate, an
airplane and more. Explore the history of transportation
from horse and buggy and trains to the development
of the automobile and flight. Each lesson introduces
terminology related to each mode of transportation,
like “lift and propulsion” for the airplane, as well as
describes how each “vehicle” works. And the best part
is -- the models are so much fun to play with! Lots of
building fun ahead with motorized models of a train,
car, dragster and airplane. These models rock, roll
and spin! Your child can follow our step-by-step model
plans to create their vehicle, then customize it to their
own specifications and take their mini-figure for a ride!

paying for the HIGH COST of
long-term care
Instructor: Matt Skiba Financial Planning
State Licensed in MI for all your Life and Retirement
Income Solutions. Do you know someone that has
needed “home care” or “long-term care”? Statistics
show fifty percent of people age 65 and over will need
some form of long term care (LTC). Living longer does
not necessarily mean living healthier. Attend this
presentation and learn a few ways to transfer that
risk to someone else.
We will also talk about the different ways to pay for
LTC. Medicaid should not be your fallback plan--learn
why. Learn where you are allowed to receive LTC
benefits. Think about who will provide your long term
care and where you would prefer to receive this care
if given the choice. You will also learn the answer to
the question “what level of health must you have to
make a claim?” Fee: $10
