Countdown To Kindergarten


















More than half of the elementary schools offer after school programs right in the school building every day. Some have before school programs, too. You can also choose from more than 240 other Boston programs at community locations, offering art and music, homework time and recreation. Each year, Parents United for Childcare (PUCC) publishes a guide to Boston’s before and after school programs.
