SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION DOES NOT MEAN YOUR CHILD HAS BEEN ENROLLED.

Due to a limited number of spaces and priority for essential workers, applications will be time stamped, reviewed and processed in order of the time they were submitted.

IF YOUR CHILD IS ENROLLED: your payment will be processed and you will receive a receipt via email.

IF YOUR CHILD IS NOT ENROLLED: they will be placed on a waiting list, and you will be notified via email by Friday, August 28.

 

 

ARPD youth afterschool programs will emphasize recreational activities (sports, active games, fitness), enrichment activities (arts & crafts, science, passive and social games, cooking), and youth development (safety community/team building, positive relationship building, skill building). Programs will incorporate many of the same activities you may be accustomed to, with additional safety measures taken by ARPD to keep participants and their families as safe as possible from COVID-19.

All participants must be picked up by 5:30 p.m.  Starting at 5:31 p.m., a late fee of $1 per minute will be charged for late pick-ups, payable that day.  If you are more than 30 minutes late, we will contact the Alameda Police Department to pick up your child and take him/her to the Police Station.  If late pick ups are a consistent problem, we will take further appropriate action.

 

Financial assistance is available for Alameda residents.  To qualify, you will need to complete a Fee Assistance Request Form and send it to arpd@alamedaca.gov
