Grades K-5 (full time Kindergarten only)

Thank you for choosing the Sumner/Bonney Lake Recreation Department as your choice for before and after school activities for your child(ren). The Before & After School Activities Club serves children who attend Bonney Lake, Crestwood, Daffodil Valley, Eismann, Emerald Hills, Liberty Ridge, Maple Lawn (at McAlder) and Victor Falls Elementary schools.

Because of overwhelming response for before and after school care, the only plans available at our Maple Lawn at McAlder/Eismann site are 3-5 days per week. We will still offer 1-2 day weekly care as well as 3-5 day weekly care at our Victor Falls/Liberty Ridge, Emerald Hills/Bonney Lake/Elementary, Crestwood and Daffodil Valley Elementary. All of our plans include the Sumner School District Wednesday late start mornings.

The Daffodil Valley program will be located at Robert Miller Gymnasium for AM and PM. Robert Miller Gymnasium is located directly behind Daffodil Valley Elementary School. The Crestwood program will be located at Crestwood Elementary.

Beginning with the 2011-2012 school year McAlder Elementary students will be permanently moved to Eismann Elementary.

During the Maple Lawn remodel in the 2011-2012 school year, Maple Lawn and Eismann students will be at McAlder Elementary in the AM & PM. Emerald Hills and Bonney Lake/Elementary students will be at Emerald Hills Elementary AM and PM, Liberty Ridge and Victor Falls students will be at Liberty Ridge in the AM and PM. The students will be taken via Sumner School District bus to and from their respective schools and program sites. However, you must drop your child(ren) off at the AM site indicated and pick-up will be at the same site.

Enclosed is a Parent Information Packet which includes a payment schedule, contact phone numbers, and answers to our most asked questions. Please thoroughly read all of the material included in this packet and promptly turn in all necessary paperwork. A 50% deposit of September’s payment (except for Autopay registrants) and a fully completed registration form will reserve your spot. Your child will not be considered registered until all paperwork is completed, turned in and approved by the Recreation Department.

We offer "autopay" and a savings of $50 when you sign up for this service. To receive your $50 savings, just sign the authorization form to charge your credit card for your monthly payment. You will receive a $5 savings each month per child. Your credit card will be charged on the first of each month. If you sign up for "autopay" you will not need to pay the 50% deposit at the time of registration. Your entire September child care amount will be charged on September 1.

Note: When there is a school closure or delay due to poor weather conditions, the Recreation Department sponsored Before and After School Program will likewise be affected. For example, if school is two hours late, the Before and After School Program will not open until 8:30 AM (which is two hours later than usual). If schools are closed, our program will also be closed.

If you have any questions, feel free to call the Recreation Department at (253) 891-6500.
