After School Programming

Many schools offer a program within the school for after school care. Some schools run the program themselves but many are offered through Lexington Parks and Recreation. There are also programs that will pick up after school or if you need before school care they will drop off your children at their school. You can ask at your child’s school about what programs are available for them.

Extended School Program (ESP)

ESP is regulated by the Kentucky Administrative Regulations (922 KAR 2:090, 2:120, and 2:280) and adheres to strict staff to student ratios. The activities offered include homework assistance along with recreation and leisure activities. ESP operates from time of dismissal (2:35 p.m.) to 6 p.m. during the school day, or 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on full day camps. Each year, students must reapply to be accepted into the programs.
