Winchester Recreation After School is licensed by the Department of Early Education and Care and follows the Winchester Public School calendar. Coverage will be provided on early release days as those costs have been built into the monthly fee. When the school is closed for holidays, vacations, professional development days, or snow days the After School Program will be closed.
REGISTRATION PROCESS

Space is extremely limited, please register to reserve your spot! The Winchester Recreation Department reserves the right to cancel any program due to low enrollment.
WILL THERE BE TRANSPORTATION?
Winchester Recreation does not provide transportation to the afterschool programs, busses have been made available by the Winchester School Department and are being assessed for this year. If busses are available, parents are responsible for purchasing their own bus passes through the Winchester School Dept. for an additional fee.

There is a one-time $25 enrollment fee along with monthly payments. Monthly payments are paid in advance and are automatically deducted the first of each month. We accept credit card payment only. The first payment is due at the time of registration and will be applied towards September. Subsequent monthly payments will begin October 1st for the remaining nine months. If you withdraw from the program during the school year, you will forfeit one month advanced payment unless a replacement is found prior the 1st of that month. When registering, you are committing the entire year.
Please note - monthly payments are based upon number of days/half days in which your child will be attending each month. Pricing options can be found on the right.
