Before & After School Care
City of El Cerrito Before and After School Program
The City of El Cerrito provides a fee-based service. Students may participate 2-5 days per week and will be charged an hourly rate. The focus of the program is more recreational and will be available for students in grades K-6. Applications and rates are available at the El Cerrito Community Center.
Enrollment for Before and After School Care for the 2021-22 School Year began on Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at 9am. Priority registration for families needing 5 days per week of care will occur through June 30, 2021 or when stable group guidance (related to the COVID-19 Pandemic) is released (if after June 30th). Families needing less than 5 days of care can still register, you will be enrolled into available spaces after July. For more details please click here.
If you need further assistance or have questions about these options, please call the After School Program Office at (510) 307-4652.
