🌟 Extended Day Enrichment Program

Open Enrollment Begins May 1, 2026

Dear Families,

We are excited to announce that open enrollment begins May 1, 2026 for the Ayer Shirley Extended Day Enrichment Program, welcoming children from early childhood (ages 3 & 4) through Grade 5 at both Page Hilltop Elementary School and Lura A. White Elementary School.

Our program is built on strong partnerships with families and schools, creating a caring, inclusive community where children feel supported, valued, and inspired each day. We provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, build friendships, and develop confidence.

Through flexible before and after school care, we strive to meet the needs of our families while complementing and extending each child’s school day in meaningful ways.

✨ Why Families Choose Our Program

As a fee-based, wrap-around program, we provide flexible care options that support your child’s school day—and your family’s schedule—with both before and after school care. To support consistency, relationships, and a strong sense of community within our program, a two-day minimum enrollment is required. 

🧸 Early Childhood Program (Ages 3 & 4)

Preschool session placements will be assigned in June. Our team will work closely with you to align your child’s enrichment schedule.
