BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL CARE
Before School Care
Before School Care is available from 7:00 a.m. until school begins at no additional charge. For safety reasons, students in K2 - K4 must be signed in by their parent/guardian. No student should be in the class or in the hallway before 8:00 a.m.
After School Care
If your child’s school day ends before yours does, After School Care is the answer! There is a fifteen-minute window for pick-up and then children remaining automatically go to After School Care. K-3 and napping K-4 students relax on their own cot for a well desired rest time. K-4 students who do not nap have a quiet play time.
After nap, everyone is up and ready to play! At 3:00, after their pick-up time, kindergarten students are dismissed to join the fun. After a snack, everyone heads outside to the playground. First graders are added to the mix at 3:30. 2nd and 3rd grades are gathered to grab a snack before heading off to the playground as well. Finally, at 3:45, 4th and 5th are dismissed to join the fun!
Weather permitting, children enjoy running and playing with friends on the playground. When it’s time to come inside, children choose from a variety of games, Legos, other favorites, or on a rainy day, watch a movie. Just one warning – occasionally you might hear a child crying – but don’t be too concerned. It’s time to go home and someone isn’t ready! By 6:00, the lights go out and everyone goes home – happy, hungry and tired!
BBS uses brightwheel for student sign-in and out to ASC. Each parent creates an account, and uses their PIN number when picking up their child(ren). The cost is $7.00 per hour and are invoiced through brightwheel each week.

How does billing for After School Care work and who should I contact if I have concerns or questions regarding my invoice?
We bill every other week, so you will typically only pay twice a month.
Here is how Brightwheel bills by grade:
Prek: 1st Hour: 12:45-1:45, 2nd Hour: 1:45-2:45, 3rd Hour 2:45-3:45 etc. You will be billed $7 on the 45th minute of each hour that your student is checked in.
K5: 1st Hour: 3:00-4:00, 2nd Hour: 4:00-5:00 etc. You will be billed $7 on the hour of each hour that your student is checked in.
1st & 2nd Grade: 1st Hour: 3:30-4:30, 2nd Hour: 4:30-5:30 etc. You will be billed $7 on the 30th minute of each hour that your student is checked in.
3rd-5th Grade: 1st Hour: 3:45-4:45, 2nd Hour: 4:45-5:45 etc. You will be charged $7 on the 45th minute of each hour that your student is checked in.
For example: If your PreK student is in After School Care from 12:45-2:00, even though it is only 15 minutes of the second hour, you will be charged for the first and second hour, because the student was picked up after 1:45.
If you have any questions regarding billing, please contact Zoë at zcorcoran@brainerdbaptist.org
If my child only stays in After School Care for 30 minutes, am I still charged for the full hour?
Yes. The way Brightwheel bills is by the hour on the hour, not by the minute.
