Guilford Before and After School Care Program - Guilford Center for Children

GCC offers a before and after school for children ages 5 through 12 years old for working families in Guilford.

Since 1978, it has been the goal of the Guilford Before & After School Care Program to provide quality and affordable care to elementary school children. In doing so, our program enables parents to work, continue their education or pursue other interests.

The children in our care are provided with a safe and relaxed environment in which to enjoy a variety of activities. Much of the creative inspiration for these activities comes from the children themselves, whose ideas and preferences are always well regarded by the staff, who continuously strive to keep the program activities flexible and appealing.

Although, as an organization, we function independently of the public school system, we maintain close, supportive ties with the professional staff of the schools in which we operate. This unique relationship affords us the opportunity to interact effectively between parents and school personnel whenever special needs circumstances exist.

“This program is a true example of community commitment to families.”

“Loving staff makes for happy kids! Thank you for all you do!”

“My son loves coming here. You guys are all terrific! Thank you for giving him a loving safe place to be!”

“Peace of mind! Your program relieves worry.”

“ A wonderful experience for my child to grow, learn, laugh, play and develop her own character with others. The teachers are beyond excellence and we are blessed to be part of such a wonderful group of people.”

“I’ve always been impressed with the caliber of the staff. They are sensitive to the differences and challenges each child presents by providing optional opportunities that will engage different children in different ways”

“Much thanks to all of the staff to a job well done! We are grateful for all the crafts and special events that you plan to keep are children engaged.”
