| Just wondering, what's the range in price? We will go through the lottery next year, and I tried to look at some schools around Brookland, but the fees are kept in the application form. |

| Absolutely depends on the school. Title one schools are free. |

| We paid 375 for aftershool in the NW. You can then sign them to afterschool classes like soccer and ballet, and those were around 120 for 3 months. |

Varies between free and $500ish a month. Plus about $20-25 a week for classes (soccer, clay, lego robots, etc).
Beforecare runs about $8-10 a day. Seems like a lot to pay for a short time of care, but worth it to us to avoid dropoff traffic and have a buffer for my commute. |

| $450 a month for before and aftercare combined. That gets you general playground monitoring or indoor activities when the weather's bad. The school has activities that run for one full quarter that range from $25 to $100 every quarter for one day a week (art, instrument, coding). Sports are free, but Girls On The Run has a fee. Our aftercare will pick them up at the end of their activities (4:30), but there's no discount or anything for the hour that they're not there. |

This isn't for Charters, right? |

It really varies by program, school, how many days per week you want, if you need before and after care, etc. The cost factors are just all over the place. We pay about 400/mo. But there is more for school breaks, etc.
One thing to note is that not all schools offer after care for all students. Be sure to ask/research not only if a school offers before/after care, but also note if there are enrollment caps. Good luck! |

Not true. Aftercare at my Title 1 was $94.50. It’s free if a family receives TANF, is homeless, or if a student is in foster care. |
