It is with much excitement that we share the following information with you in regards to Fee Based Programs for before and after school child care. As you know the School District of Lee County has moved to new proximity zones in the school year, 2025-26. With that in mind, many more of our families may require before or after care for their children. Our team has worked to align our school programs to provide the most support to our families.
Key Things to Know:
All Fee Based Staff Members will be trained in CPR/First Aid before working the program.
Early Dismissal Days:
December 19th, 2025

June 1st, 2026
There are no fee-based programs on these days. (On these weeks the flat rate will be prorated. Ex. 4 day week = $40.00 flat rate).
There are morning programs on these days.
