CARES (Before & After School Care)

Saints Simon and Jude CARES program offers before and after school care to all Saints Simon and Jude school children. Our CARES program provides care, supervision, recreation and enrichment activities for your children. It serves families who desire both parochial school education and before/after school day care in a Catholic environment. The CARES program is staffed by experienced, devoted and committed personnel.
Afternoon CARES is available from dismissal to 6:00 pm. Morning CARES is available from 7:00 - 8:20 am (not available on days with a school delay). Any Pre-K student arriving at school before 8:20 must be registered in the CARES program.
The payment policy allows you to use the program on an as needed basis, with payments made weekly on the last day CARES is used that week.
