Silver Palms Elementary School
Before and After-School Child Care Program
2022-2023

Silver Palms Elementary is proud to offer a high quality, fee-based before and after-school child-care program for the students who attend our school. On behalf of our aftercare team, we are very excited to have all our students back on campus!

Our philosophy is to provide all students with an academic/fitness-based program, while in a safe and nurturing environment and to teach the students appropriate social skills, including conflict resolution and acceptable peer interaction.

We provide the students with snack time, a structured homework hour, indoor games, a technology and a S (science) T (technology) E (engineering) M (math) center, Spanish class, arts and crafts, and outdoor play.

Currently, all our experienced counselors are attending college and have been trained in Anti-bullying, CPR/First Aid, behavior management and conflict resolution, assorted group activities and emergency situations. All staff has received a thorough FBI background clearance through Broward County Public Schools.

 Program Information

Our program abides by the Broward County Public Schools Code of Conduct. We follow the same rules pertaining to cell phones, medication dispensing, bullying and behavior conduct. Our students are expected to behave in the same manner they would in the classroom and to treat their counselor and peers with kindness and respect.

If your child has Special Needs (an IEP, a 504 plan, or medical issues), please let us know before you register. We are required to have a meeting to make sure our program can meet their needs.

Payment information

The non-refundable registration fee ($30.00 per child) will be collected for the 2022-2023 school year. The activity fee is $15.00, which pays for student’s snack and early release activities.

As of this school year, there will be 12 payment periods. We have not yet confirmed our prices for the next school year. However, aftercare prices are currently $258 per pay period and the before-care fee is $63.00 per pay period. If a parent/guardian forgets to make a payment, they will be charged an additional $30.00 re-registration fee PER CHILD. (Late fee)
