KIDS Childcare
DeWitt Public Schools offers licensed before-school and after-school childcare to students in the district for ages 3 years (and enrolled in LPPS) to 5th grade. The program, organized by DeWitt Community Education, provides quality childcare by licensed staff. Enrollment is open throughout the school year, space permitting, and is currently working from a wait list. Our State of Michigan Licensed program will keep your child learning and having fun at the same time!
Fall KIDS begins August 26th!
Registration for KIDS 19'-20' school year is closed.
UPDATE: Due to the high number of current family registrants, there will be no open enrollment period for new families for the K.I.D.S. Program. As space becomes available we will work from the wait list to enroll new families. Currently the state of Michigan licensing capacity for the program has been reached.
A waiting list is available for interested families. Please contact the Community Education office at 668-3460 for further details and/or to be placed on this list.
