Childcare for Little Rangers Participants

Providing childcare is essential to making preschool accessible for all. Children enrolled in Little Rangers Full Day Preschool at an elementary school now have the opportunity to register for School Age Care (SAC). SAC offers childcare before and after school that is available on enrolled preschool days at Columbus, Forest View, Lino Lakes, Linwood, Scandia, and Wyoming Elementaries. For more information or to register for School Age Care, call 651-982-8365.

Transportation for 4-year-olds

A caregiver, 18 years or older, must be at the bus stop for pick up and drop off. Four and five-year-old preschoolers can ride the bus. Children who enroll in Half Day Preschool can ride the bus to school in the morning or ride the bus home at the end of the day. Mid-day transportation is not available. Children who enroll in Full Day Preschool have the option of riding the bus to and from school. Transportation is available for students who attend preschool at the elementary where their home address is assigned and at the Education Center for those in the Forest lake Elementary and Forest View Elementary busing area. Our hope is that by providing this service, it will be easier for families to participate in a high quality, early learning experience. Space is limited and dependent on availability on existing bus routes. This service is offered free of charge.
