BOLINGBROOK, Ill. – The Bolingbrook Park District is committed to supporting families during these difficult times. To provide working families during the e-learning process, the REACH Before/After School Program has been expanded to REACH All-Day Care to provide support at multiple facilities throughout Bolingbrook. Park District staff will provide supervision for Valley View School District (VVSD) students or Bolingbrook Park District residents, grades K-5th, as they guide themselves through their daily e-learning requirements.

Typically, the R.E.A.C.H. (Recreation Enhances A Child’s Health) program provides before/after school care for six Bolingbrook elementary schools. The REACH All Day Care is being offered as two options for families:

  • Option 1: 8:30 am-3:30 pm, offered Monday-Friday, TU/W/TH, or M/W/F.
  • Option 2: 8:00 am-6:00 pm, Monday-Friday.
