Beacon Recreation After School Program
Registration info for the 2025-2026 School Year
Welcome to the Beacon Recreation After School Program, held in J.V Forrestal, Sargent, and South Ave. Elementary schools. This program offers more than just childcare; it provides exposure to a variety of activities, allowing your child to try something new or delve deeper into something they already enjoy. It is our goal to provide a safe and fun recreational experience to all participating children while providing an opportunity for enrichment.
Each day, the children are dismissed from their classroom directly to the program, where they have about thirty minutes of free play and a snack. From about 4:00 to 4:50 is the first activity period, followed by a second fifty-minute activity period. Scheduled activities are complete around 5:45. Parents are welcome to pick their child up at any time prior to 6:00 pm.
We host four sessions each year. Registration for each session occurs about two weeks prior to the end of the current session. There is no break in the program between sessions. We operate each day BCSD has a 3:00 dismissal. We do not hold program on school holidays or ½ days.
In order to register for the Beacon Recreation After School program, you must have a MyRec household account set up. To set up an account, please visit beaconny.myrec.com
