📚 Expanded After-School Care for 2026–2027

After receiving feedback from parents, staff, and the Raleigh Park community, the RPASCA board has approved expanding the program for the 2026–2027 school year.

What’s Changing

• Capacity will increase from 45 students to 60 students
• Student-to-staff ratio will remain 15:1
• Additional staff will be hired to support the expansion

Registration will open Saturday, June 6, following the same process used in previous years.
