Out of School Time Program

E.L. Haynes offers an Out of School Time (OST) program for students in grades PK3 through grade 8, designed to be a safe, enriching environment. The program is directed by school administration and staffed with Haynes employees.

This year, we’re thrilled to offer new clubs, exciting enrichment opportunities, and engaging experiences designed to make every afternoon fun, meaningful, and memorable. Whether your child enjoys STEAM, sports, or discovering new interests, there’s something for everyone!

Discounts & Financial Assistance

To help make OST accessible for all families, we offer the following discounts and financial assistance opportunities:

Financial Assistance: To see if you’re eligible for OSSE’s Subsidy Program, please set up an appointment here.

Sibling Discount: Families with more than one child enrolled in OST receive a 25% discount on sibling fees.

Our Before Care and After Care programs operate on a drop-in billing model, meaning you are only charged when your child uses the service. There is no requirement to attend every day, giving families the flexibility to use OST as needed.
