*There will be NO before care when there is a delay of school opening. Every effort will try to be made for aftercare opening when there is an early dismissal. We follow DC Public School Systems (DCPS) school openings and closings. *Nutritious snacks are served in the afternoon. Note: If additional snacks are desired, parents are encouraged to send them.
