[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It may depend on the school. We have been able to take our kids to Murch after school without any problem, but we were asked to leave Eaton.[/quote]

I was just at Murch a couple of weeks ago to vote.  I recall the sign on the fence said the playground was private property from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm for school and aftercare activities.  But not sure how they would know if your kid was part of aftercare or not if you are just playing on the playground.  [/quote]

I'd like to think that the aftercare staff  would  be  able to recognize a non-student.[/quote]

Murch's playground is huge and overrun with non-aftercare kids all afternoon after school. Regardless of what the sign says, anyone with kids can go up there and play once school is out.[/quote]

Murch is a little different because the two after-care programs are privately run and are officially housed in space they lease in a church across the street from the school. They do not have exclusive use of Murch's outdoor space during their program hours, though they do make use of it. There are lots of Murch kids who stay after school with parent/sitter supervision to play on the playground. [/quote]
