Extended Care Registration for the 2024-2025 School Year                            

Priority registration opens for the 2024-2025 school year starting March 1, 2024. General public registration begins on April 1, 2024. Registration closes on June 30, 2024. Registrations after this date will be taken and put on a waitlist for enrollment.

This program is held at Big Timber Elementary, Gary D. Wright Elementary and Hampshire Elementary schools. The Hampshire Township Park District offers supervised care for your children at all facilities that meet the enrollment minimum. Registration for this program is not available online. Registration packets for the 2023-2024 school year will be available starting March 3, 2023 at the Park Office at 182 S. State Street or at the bottom of this page. For additional questions please call 847-683-2690 ext. 204 and speak with Kim, or e-mail etc@hampshireparkdistrict.org.

CPR certified staff provides your children with reliable and safe care in a fun environment. Extended Care Staff organize daily activities including games and crafts. After school children are offered supervised homework time. Physical activities are also offered daily both inside and outside weather permitting.

Children must be completely toilet-trained.

Extended Care Options

  1. Before School Care that begins at 6:30 am until 7:55 am. On Late Start days, our hours are the same! Your child/ren must be enrolled in the Late Start Childcare Program through District #300 to receive care from 7:55 am until the start of school (10:00 am).
  2. After School Care from dismissal that goes until 5:30 pm

Important Notes

The program requires a minimum of 20 children to run at each facility, for each program. For example, if 20 children are not registered for morning care at any school, morning care will not be offered. However, if there are 20 children for morning care between 2 schools, we may combine morning care to 1 location. Likewise, if 20 children are registered for after care, but only 2 are registered for full day, only half day will be offered.

Online registration is not available for this program. All forms must be completed and fees must be paid at least 2 days (not including weekends) before your child may attend the program.

Registration Documents

All necessary forms must be completed and faxed to 847-683-1741, emailed to etc@hampshireparkdistrict.org , lcafferky@hampshireparkdistrict.org or dropped off at 182 S. State St., Hampshire. NO ONLINE REGISTRAION IS AVAILABLE.
