Before and Aftercare

Clark Fork School offers BEFORE CARE & AFTER CARE PROGRAMS for our community.

Before Care

Before Care starts at 7:45am and finishes at 8:45am. Their Before-Care teacher will escort the children to their classroom at the beginning of their school day. Advanced registration is necessary. We adhere to an 8:1 student teacher ratio in our Before Care program and considerable planning is necessary to provide adequate staffing.

AFTER CARE: place-based after-school programs for children age 2 through 3rd grade.

Shooting Stars

Shooting Stars after care is designed for our day program families. Students are dropped off in the Shooting Stars classroom at 3:00PM. Students will have a snack and participate in enriching activities such as paining, puzzles, and song and dance, followed by outdoor free-play. This program operates until 5:30PM.

Kids’ Niche after care program is designed for Rattlesnake Elementary students, home schooled students, and students from Missoula County Public Schools from 3:15-5:30pm (2:30-5:30pm on Thursdays).
