​OUT OF SCHOOL ​& AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS

Picture
We're so excited to share this fall term's fun and creative programs for our after school lineup ✨
This year we're happy to offer a variety of after-school programs from Carisbrooke (see below). There are also alternative Out-of-School providers who offer care for children from Carisbrooke.
This term's programs were put together based on your feedback, along with support from local businesses and what they can offer.
​
We'd like to remind the community that each program depends on having enough students registered, so if you're planning to sign up, feel free to spread the word and encourage your child's friends and other families to join. The more kids we have, the more programs we get to run!
If you have ideas for other programs, or would like to introduce a business that could offer something great for our kids, please reach out to Niloufar (Nell) at [email protected]. We love new suggestions!

Please note, the following programs are offered to Carisbrooke by both private and non-profit providers.  As such, CPAC is not responsible for the content of their programs. Please contact the provider directly for any questions you may have.
