Welcome to the Standish Recreation Before /After School Program. Our main emphasis in offering this program is to provide your child with an affordable, fun and safe program for the before and after school hours. One of the key elements of this program is “play” – which is something that is sometimes forgotten in this busy world that we are raising our children in. Through the activities that we offer, we are hoping to help your children develop some life-long leisure skills, as well as an understanding about the importance of having recreational interests. We are a family friendly program and invite any new ideas. It is the goal of the department to have the program run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. With your participation and cooperation, it will continue to be a premium recreational program.

We understand that you have busy lives, and you have a lot going on. The handbook has been prepared for your convenience. It informs you of our policies and procedures, and will hopefully answer the questions you might have about our program. We ask that you keep this booklet in a handy place for easy reference. Our expectation is that each parent will read and understand this manual and act in accordance with our policies. Thank you!





Sincerely,



Linda Brooks, Director of Parks and Recreation

Payment Information
  • The annual fee for each child is based on a 38-week period, and this annual fee does take into account holidays and vacation periods. There will be no refunds given for days missed, or for days that are canceled due to snow days, as those days will be made up at the end of the school year. Anyone given a space after the program has begun will pay a pro-rated fee. Please download the Before/After School Program Parent Handbook for the fee option that best meets your needs.
  • Payment for 4 weeks is required at time of registration and this deposit is applied toward the total cost of the program. The parent is expected to begin making regular payments at the beginning of the program, so that the payments are completed before the program concludes. An e-mail will be sent in the middle of each month as a reminder to check your account and to make your payment by the first of the next month. Please keep your account up to date. Anyone who falls behind more than 4 weeks will be asked to make weekly payments in order to keep their account current.
  • Payments can be made through our website at www.standishrec.com, and this is the simplest method for you to use. They can also be mailed to Standish Recreation, 175 Northeast Road, Standish, 04084, in person at the Clerk’s Office during regular business hours (Monday – Thursday, 7:30 a.m.- 4:30 p.m.) Anyone who receives assistance with program fees through some type of subsidizing agency will need to provide written verification of this with the registration form.
