The BVSD Community Schools Licensed Child Care Handbook provides relevant links, protocols and other details for ALL licensed child care programs (EC, PSE, SAC, YMCA, ECE) operating in BVSD schools in 2020-21. The handbook is subject to revisions as necessitated by public health and the changing nature of the pandemic caused by COVID-19. Our partners, including Boulder County Public Health, Children's Hospital and the YMCA, also have access to this handbook.

Child care monthly rates are based on the total number of school days and hours throughout the year, divided by the number of months covered. This keeps the monthly amount stable to help families plan, and the variation of child care days from month to month are averaged out.

The Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) provides financial assistance to eligible low-income families who need child care benefits for children from birth to age 12. If you are eligible, a portion of the total child care cost will be paid. You can find the CCAP checklist to submit to BVSD Child Care here. For information about CCAP denials and the appeals process, click here.

BVSD assures equal access to after school programs and extracurricular activities for students with disabilities. IEPs do not automatically apply to these programs, so the School District conducts an individualized inquiry about the student’s needs and whether there are reasonable modifications, aids or services that could be provided to allow the student an equal opportunity for participation in the program or activity. These discussions can occur in an IEP meeting, a Section 504 meeting or in an individualized discussion between a coach or activity leader and a parent.

If you believe your student requires modifications or accommodations to access a BVSD School Age Care program, please email jasmine.bailon@bvsd.org.
