Grades K-5 (full time Kindergarten only)

Thank you for choosing the Sumner/Bonney Lake Recreation Department as your choice for before and after school child care activities for your child(ren).  The Before & After School Activities Program serves children who attend Bonney Lake, Crestwood,  Daffodil Valley,  Eismann, Emerald Hills, Liberty Ridge, Maple Lawn and Victor Falls Elementary schools.

We offer 1-2 days per week care and 3-5 days per week care at Victor Falls/Liberty Ridge, Emerald Hills/Bonney Lake Elementary and Crestwood Elementary.  Currently only 3-5 days per week is offered at Maple Lawn/Daffodil/Eismann Elementary. If space is available after September 4, then we will accept registrations for 1-2 days per week as well. All of our plans include the Sumner School District Wednesday late start mornings. If you are registered for afternoon care only, the drop off time for the included Wednesday Late start is thirty minutes prior to your school's regular start time.

The Crestwood program will be located at Crestwood Elementary. Daffodil Valley, Maple Lawn and Eismann students will be at Maple Lawn Elementary in the AM & PM.  Emerald Hills and Bonney Lake Elementary students will be at Emerald Hills Elementary AM and PM.  Liberty Ridge and Victor Falls students will be at Liberty Ridge in the AM and PM. All students will be taken via Sumner School District bus to and from their respective schools and program sites.  However,  you must drop your child(ren) off at the AM site indicated and pick-up will be at the same site. Please verify bus numbers with your site director or our office after August 27.

Enclosed is a Parent Information Packet which includes a payment schedule, contact phone numbers and answers to our most asked questions.   Please thoroughly read all of the material included in this packet and promptly turn in all necessary paperwork. A 50% deposit of September’s payment (except for Autopay registrants) and a fully completed registration form will reserve your spot. Your child will not be registered until all paperwork is completed, turned in and approved by the Recreation Department.

We offer "autopay" and a savings of $50 per year ($5 per month, per child) when you sign up for this service. To receive your savings, just sign the authorization form to charge your credit card for your monthly payment. Your credit card will be charged on the first of each month.  If you sign up for "autopay" you will not need to pay the 50% deposit at the time of registration. Your entire September child care amount will be charged on September 1. If you sign up for "autopay" and cancel your registration before September 4 your credit card will be charged a $50 cancellation fee.

Note:  When there is a school closure or delay due to weather conditions, the Recreation Department sponsored Before and After School Program will likewise be affected. For example, if school is two hours late, the Before and After School Program will not open until 8:30 AM (which is two hours later than usual).  If schools are closed, our program will also be closed.  Call (253) 891- 6001 for updated current weather related school changes or monitor local radio and television stations.

If you have any questions, feel free to call the Recreation Department at (253) 891-6500.
