Welcome to Bloomingdale Aftercare, where every afternoon unfolds into a world of excitement, friendship, and boundless exploration for your child. We are delighted to extend our warmest invitation to you and your little ones, inviting them to join our dynamic and enriching after-school community.
One of the most heartwarming sights at Bloomingdale Aftercare is witnessing our older children take the lead, looking out for their younger peers and even inventing new and exciting activities for everyone to enjoy.
You’ll often see our children engrossed in friendly team sports, cheering each other on and celebrating every success, whether it’s scoring a goal or simply mastering a new skill. At Bloomingdale Aftercare, fostering a culture of mutual respect and encouragement is at the heart of what we do.
Our aftercare program remains open until 6:00 p.m. on all school days, including half-days, providing a reliable and extended care option for your child. We diligently adhere to the Bloomingdale Public School’s calendar for holidays, breaks, and other scheduled days off.
If your child requires care on days when school is closed, please inform us, as we maintain a limited number of open spots at our center located at 65 Main St for single-day care, ensuring that your child’s needs are met even on non-school days.
There may be occasional instances where we close before 6:00 p.m. due to inclement weather, prioritizing the safety of our aftercare students, parents, and staff. Additionally, we may close earlier before holidays, and we ensure that parents are promptly notified through our parent engagement apps.
In the case of a delayed school opening, the start of our before-care program may also be delayed, and we will promptly notify parents via our parent engagement app about the revised opening time.

PreK3 and PreK4 students as they enjoy playful activities together in the art classroom and the newly designed toddler playground. To ensure a comfortable experience for your little ones, we kindly ask parents to keep a full set of clothes in their child’s backpack, even if they are fully potty trained. It’s common for children at this age to have occasional accidents, and having spare clothes readily available ensures that they can quickly freshen up and get back to their fun-filled day. If your child has recently started potty training, we recommend they come to aftercare in pull-ups as the bathrooms are far from the art classroom.
Our cherished PreK3 and PreK4 students at SRD enjoy their time in the bustling cafeteria alongside our other aftercare attendees. To ensure specialized care and attention for our little ones, we have a dedicated staff member solely focused on catering to their unique needs. Just like in our other locations, we kindly request parents to pack a spare set of clothes in their child’s backpack, even if they are fully potty trained, as it’s common for children at this age to have occasional accidents. If your child is currently in the process of potty training, we recommend they attend aftercare in pull-ups to ensure a seamless experience.
We understand that our regular aftercare program might not suit every family’s needs, and we appreciate that there are times when parents require ad-hoc care for their little ones. At Bloomingdale Aftercare, we’re thrilled to offer single-day ad-hoc care for all students, allowing families to enjoy the perks of our engaging program without the commitment of monthly service. Experience the same exciting aftercare activities, attentive care, and vibrant atmosphere for just $25 per day on regular school days and $25 on half-days. Before care also ad-hoc for just $20 per day. Join us and pay as you go, ensuring your child has a fantastic and enriching time with us whenever the need arises.
Upon enrolling for our aftercare program, you will be requested to download the ProCare app. This user-friendly tool allows family members to conveniently manage payments and swiftly sign children in and out of aftercare. Using your smartphone’s camera app, simply scan the QR code located at the pickup door and enter your unique PIN number. You can find your individual PIN within the ProCare app under your personal contact information. It’s crucial to confirm and manage all family members and authorized pickup individuals through this app, as it serves as our primary communication channel for reaching out to you when necessary.
Get ready for some holiday adventures! While our aftercare is closed during school closures and holidays, we’ve got you covered with a few available spots at our vibrant daycare center located at 65 Main St, ensuring a joyful and engaging time for our aftercare students.
