Exciting news from the BSD Foundation- we have partnered with BHS to raffle the sheds built by the construction trades class!

Boys and Girls Club Families, The Brookings School District is thrilled to announce the launch of our Early Learning program next fall. As a participant in the Boys and Girls Club program, you can enroll your child in our preschool offerings through the Brookings Childcare Collaborative. Like your current experience, we will provide Pre-K and Extended Enrichment services from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm. Pre-K programming, offered as half-day services onsite at the Brookings School District, will be $325 per month. For those who wish to extend their child's time in the program, the Boys and Girls Club will offer Extended Enrichment programming at the three elementary schools for an additional fee of $350. Please use the provided link to enroll for Fall 2024 Pre-K sessions. Upon submission, a $100 deposit can be remitted at the Brookings School District Administration Office at 2130 8th St. S. All current Club students will have priority placement through April 8. After that date, the remaining seats will be filled in order of completed registrations, and Club students will not be guaranteed a placement. Program-specific information will be shared over the next few weeks; however, we wanted to ensure registration information was available for families wishing to secure a placement next fall. If you plan to register for Extended Enrichment, that link is provided below. We are excited about the programs being developed and look forward to our partnership with you and your family!
