Guest guest Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I am desperate to find a before and aftercare program for my middle schooler. He is currently registered at Coral Springs Middle and they don't offer either. I have to be at work in Pembroke Pines at 7:30 and don't get home until 5:00. His school hours are from 9-3. I would LOVE some advice from other parents who are going through this same situation. I know I can't be the only one. No one in with Broward County Schools has been able to provide any type of solution or help. Please please please ANY ideas or input would be greatly appreciated!!!

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Does anyone have experience with any of these programs? Do any of these programs truly provide 'structured' activities for our kids? What is typically the adult to child ratio? What do they do?Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®From: RLisme1@...Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2009 22:01:30 EDTTo: <sList >Subject: Re: PLEASE HELP!!

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Call each one. Depending on your child's need is where the ratio changes. You need to go observe. I had good luck with the Y, after much communication between myself & the staff and it was in her own school at the time. To: sList Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 12:58:05 PMSubject: Re: PLEASE HELP!!

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I believe licensing is a 1 to 25 ratio, so for YMCA and Broward Parks, it is likely that. But for ARC and UCP, they accommodate kids with special needs. From: meandmyraingirl@... Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 12:58 PM To: sList Subject: Re: PLEASE HELP!!

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 My daughter attends the Adult program at Cypress Park in CS. I think they just have adults and HS students. For the adults, it's 4:1; for the teens I think it's 10:1 - but they all work together. She loves it there. The staff is very caring and compassionate. Some of them have been doing this for years. Many work in different school's autism programs. Call the Y for info and sites for middle-schoolers. My only complaint is that now they seem to be shuffling staff around, maybe more frequently now. I don't know if the Y is starting more programs. That's hard for her because she gets attached to people. I did observe prior, and you have to do an intake. It's worth a try.Meryl --- Re: PLEASE HELP!! Aftercare options: YMCA ARC Broward UCP Broward Parks & Recreation Robin In a message dated 8/20/2009 9:20:45 P.M.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 But do these programs pick up and deliver? That really seems to be the issue. I am having the same issue at Forest Glen Middle. I went through a service at work (Lifecare) and they came up with: Kids in Motion will pick up from Middle school if there is a minimum of 3 children being picked up from the school – rates $250 Per month – contact is Donna at – max age 13 YMCA Boca will offer child care up to age 14, but no details on pickup – info will be available towards the end of August – contact is Stevie at The other option they gave was looking up local child care providers (people who do so in their home) within walking distance from the school. Right now I am battling with busing ( it is on his IEP but no one knows if the bus is coming on Monday or not) and will be relying on my older daughter to watch him after school until she goes to practice. Hubby and I are fighting over how to handle the mornings still Good luck! Dianne From: sList [mailto:sList ] On Behalf Of austintandt@...
