Boys' & Girls' Club BEFORE SCHOOL PROGRAM

The Boys & Girls Club of Hawthorne's Before School Program, previously held a the Club, is now available on site at each of the Hawthorne Public Elementary Schools. This change provides a more convenient and affordable option for parents who require childcare before the start of the school day. Children will attend a structured morning program supervised by professional staff and will join their classmates when school opens for the day. The program is effective the first day of school. Children may be dropped off at their school no earlier than 7:30 a.m. no exceptions. The morning session includes a light breakfast if requested. Please note that due to to time restraints, homework help will not be available during the morning program. There will be no Before School Program when Hawthorne Public Schools have a delayed opening.

Boys & Girls Club of Hawthorne programs follow the Hawthorne Public School calendar. Any changes in the school calendar will result in a change in the Club schedule. For half-day sessions, children will be picked up according to public school dismissal times.

For public school closings or emergency early dismissal due to inclement weather, the Boys & Girls Club of Hawthorne will be closed as well. Please make other arrangements for your child's pick up and care.

It is important that you inform the Boys and Girls Club of Hawthorne of any changes in your contacts authorized to pick up your child and of all changes in telephone numbers where you can be reached for emergency contact.
