2023 Summer Programs

New this year, DPR program registration is ONLINE!  The new site will offer residents the ability to register at any time without the need to wait in long lines or take time out of work only to find out your preferred class is full or additional paperwork is required.  We are hopeful that this new online software will make registration easier and more convenient for all!!

Program forms and registration are located in left side margin

Late Pick-up

There will be a $20 charge for a 15-minute late pick-up, $30 for 30 minutes, $40 for 45 minutes, and $50 for an hour. After one hour child and family services will be called if there is no response from the parents or the emergency contacts. Continuous tardiness and or failure to pay the late fees will result in the child's non-refundable termination from the program.
