Bear Care is a before-school and after-school tutoring and enrichment program for students whose parents need an extension to their child’s day due to the parents’ work schedule. We offer the following: homework assistance, tutoring/enrichment, and games requiring strategic thinking. We are accepting the first 100 students to enroll this school year. All other students will be put on a waiting list. If you are accepted to participate in Bear Care, you will receive an acceptance letter with further directions. There is a registration fee of $125.00 which is used to pay for snacks and purchasing supplies for enrichment activities. Please click the link on the babyben.org homepage for all Bear Care fees. BEAR CARE IS OFFERED AT THE JEFFERSON CAMPUS ONLY.
