Lawrence Township After School Program (ASP) Registration

Parents may begin registering their children in Lawrence Township’s Before School Program (BSP) and After School Program (ASP) for the 2013-2014 school year through the YWCA Princeton. Registration before the first day of school is strongly encouraged. 

 

Lawrence recently awarded management of the programs back to YWCA Princeton who ran the program for several years. The YWCA has a long history in after school programs, having served thousands of families since the mid-1970s. They currently run similar programs for both the Montgomery Township and Princeton Regional school districts.

“We seek to inspire and engage children in learning, provide opportunities for play and socialization (indoors and outdoors), homework, encourage children to explore their interests, and provide “peace of mind” for working parents,” shares Diane Hasili, YWCA Princeton spokesperson. The organization receives high marks for its program. Nine-five percent of last year’s parents who participated in a satisfaction survey said they would recommend the program to other parents.

Parents can elect to participate on a full time or part-time basis. Or they can choose a five-day pass option and even mix-and-match the plans from month-to-month to meet their changing schedules. Students may be enrolled any time throughout the school year. In addition to an array of activities, children may be enrolled in enrichments at an additional cost.

 

The Before School Program (BSP) is the available for students of Ben Franklin Elementary, Lawrence Intermediate, and Lawrenceville Elementary will be held at Lawrence Intermediate School. Students will then be transported to their school for the start of the school day. 

 

The After School Program (ASP) is available at Ben Franklin Elementary, Eldridge Park Elementary, Lawrence Intermediate, Lawrenceville Elementary, and Slack Elementary. Each of these will be held on-site at the school.

 

The program is licensed by the State of New Jersey and the YWCA Princeton is a registered member of the Afterschool Alliance and NJSACC.
