After School

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale (SFS) may be used to reduce the amount paid for School-Age Care programs. The scale ranges from 10-100% and is based on income, number of members per household, and special circumstances affecting the applicant’s ability to pay. Applications are available online, at the administration office, or any recreation center. If approved, the reduced fee is valid for one year.

Parents/Guardians who have a current approved reduced rate assigned will receive the applicable discount at the time of registration. Please note that anyone with a SFS rate that has expired must submit a new application. SFS Applications may take up to 2 weeks to process.

ePACT

DPR is excited to continue our contract with ePACT, an online forms management company, that helps us securely collect all medical and emergency information electronically. After completing your registration with DPR, you will receive an email invite from ePACT on behalf of DPR to share information with us. Click ’Complete Request’ to create a free account, or log-in if you already have an existing ePACT account. Make sure to enter the information for each child and share it with DPR so that program staff has access.

Special Services

DPR encourages the participation of all school-age children in its School-Age Care (SAC) Program. To provide quality services and activities to all its participants, children needing significant assistance with personal care (i.e. toileting), behavior management, support to participate in activities, constant eyes-on supervision, and/or hands-on support, or who have trouble communicating needs/wishes for more than 30% of the time may be required to bring a care provider (at no expense to DPR) to provide 1:1 support. DPR will assess each participant’s abilities and notify the parents/guardians if 1:1 support is required. DPR will reasonably accommodate participants needing such support. 

Please Note: 1:1 care providers must pass a background check prior to supporting a participant in the SAC program.

Transportation

Durham Parks and Recreation is providing no cost, safe and reliable transportation for our After School programs! DPR picks up participants from several Durham Public School locations and transports them to our Recreation Centers located throughout the City. Transportation is free from the listed schools with registration in the after school program. If your school is not listed please contact transportation at your child’s school for routes going to a DPR location or to inquire about a new route to an After School location!

*DPR transportation and SAC programs may vary based on staffing and enrollment
