Special Town Meeting Child Care Update

We have an update to the list of child care otions during Special Town Meeting. Add in the DSU event listed below. Big thanks to Before and After Dark, the DHS Volleyball team and the DSU for putting together these options!

We strongly encourage voters to make childcare plans sooner rather than later! Sign up NOW!

Special Town Meeting Child Care Service Offered by Community Education (Before and After Dark)

Child care services for preschool age (3 years old and up/must be toilet trained) to school age children will be available at a reduced cost for Duxbury residents attending Special Town Meeting on Saturday, October 29th.   Community Education staffers and DHS students will provide care in the Extended Day program classroom at the Alden Elementary School.  The service is available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the exception of the town meeting lunch break, when parents are asked to pick up their children.   The cost is $12 per child per day, or $6 per child for the morning session or afternoon session.  Each child should bring his/her own drink and snacks.  Families must register in advance for the child care service and may do so beginning October 12, 2011.  Registrations will be processed on a first-come, first-serve basis, and the number of children attending will be limited to ensure proper staffing ratios.  Please call the Community Education office at 781-934-7633 if you wish to register your child for the reduced cost child care service.

Community Education also provided the slightly out-of-date 2010-11 Babysitting List that was compiled last year at Magic Dragon with students that were participating in the Child Development course at DHS.  That program has been discontinued at the High School, so this list is not up-to-date, but it may provide another resource for families that prefer at home care or need a babysitter for their infant/toddler age children. If you are interested in that list, email us as it has home phone numbers and we don't want to post it publicly.

Childcare offered by DHS Girls Vollyeball Team

The DHS Girls Volleyball team will be offering childcare from 9-12 on Saturday October 29 in Alden room 104. Children must be potty-trained. The cost will be $10 per child with a $20 per family maximum. Please sign up in advance by emailing Barbara Vetch at barbaravetsch@comcast.net.
