After Care for Elementary School Kids in Bannockburn

[Anonymous]

Hello-
We are new to the Bannockburn neighborhood, and our son will be starting kindergarten next fall. We were wondering what programs are available for before and after care in the Bannockburn neighborhood? I have heard about Bar-T - do people like it? Are there any other programs available, and if so, how do they compare?
Thanks!

I'm in that neighborhood and two neighbors send their kids, who apparently like it. Sorry, no more info than that.

We are at Wood Acres and are pleased with Bar T.

Yes our work at home neighbors use it. We may consider it in a years time. The prices were ok when I called, and they had capacity. Sounded like 50-60 students total used aftercare.

We used Bar T at a different nearby elementary school and we really liked it. Very structured, lots of activities, high energy director.

Yes it's Bar T at Bannockburn. I haven't used it before but I know folks who use it really like it, as do their kids.

Bar T is pretty much fine at bannockburn - many kids use it and it's convenient. It doesn't make sense to try to find another after care program -- and it is better than a nanny for just after care because the kids can socialize, go outside and get homework done.

Don't forget to sign up for morning care unless you can go to work at 10:00. School starts at like 9:20 or something like that.

We use Bar-T at a different elementary school and our kids love it!

Any more recent thoughts on Bar-T at Bannockburn?

This is my neighborhood and I haven't heard any complaints. Yes to the part about morning care. The bus comes at 9 in our neighborhood--crazy late. I wish they could move school one way or the other so that we would only have to pay for before or after and not both.
