What is Rec Station?
Rec Station is a cooperative program between the Elmhurst Park District and School District #205 for kindergarten through fifth graders needing before and after school care in a supervised setting right in the child's school. District #205 and the Elmhurst Park District are committed to providing quality care for your child, working together to make the school day care transition easy and fun.
Rec Station is relaxed and recreational in nature, providing a safe and fun environment. The experienced staff plans daily activities, including arts and crafts, indoor/outdoor gross motor activities, large and small group games.
The program is held daily, Monday-Friday and runs from 7:00 am until the school day begins and from the end of the school day until 6:00 pm.
Once registered, families will be invited to complete their child’s ePACT record. This is a highly secure, online emergency network used to collect medical and contact information. This information will need to be completed before a child can attend the program.
