Before Care Program: A Smooth Start to the Day for Boys and Girls

Our Before Care Program starts bright and early at 7 am, providing a convenient option for parents needing to drop off their children before school. This service is available for students in Pequannock, Wanaque/Haskell, Lincoln Park (Elementary ONLY), and Kinnelon districts. While there is currently no before care program for Pompton Lakes, we are continually evaluating the needs of our community. Boys and girls alike benefit from a structured and supervised environment before the school day begins, allowing for a calm and prepared start to their learning.
