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 offer year-round, full-day programs for infants up to kindergarten aged children, and school year programs for half-day preschoolers.

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. Jenkins Early Childhood Learning Center 2801 Baker Rd. (734) 424-4180 MAIN OFFICE: option 5 ATTENDANCE: option 1 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. After School Child Care Daily Fees: afternoon fee: $15 class-to-care fee: $7 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 1-5 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. To participate in After School or Class-to-Care, please contact Community Education Specialist Cassiana Castilho-Lima at 734-424-4180, extension 1301. All registration forms must be on file prior to start date. PLEASE NOTE: Registration for current families begins April 1 (May 1 for new families), and continues through August based on availability. ***Students not registered by Aug. 24, 2016 will not be able to attend care until Sept.12, IF there is space available at that time.*** 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.
