The Naticook After School program offers a safe, supportive alternative between school and home for children in grades K - 4.
In this program; we create an environment where your child(ren) will have the opportunity to create new friendships with peers, complete their homework, learn new games, and create arts and crafts. We pride ourselves on having a united staff that shows your child(ren) great compassion and care. Your child(rens) safety is our number one priority. It is important that your child(ren) have the best after school experience we can possibly provide. We want your child(ren) to leave the program with great memories and relationships with their peers and staff.
The Naticook After School Program is led by our Camp Director & After School Program Coordinator Hannah Cote. We operate based upon the Merrimack School District calendar and so when school is closed; we are also closed. On days where there is an early release day from School; we open early and run a longer program on those days.
Parents have the option to register their child for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 days per week. Spaces are limited and so we encourage you to lock in your place right away.
The program runs Mondays - Fridays from 2:45 pm - 6:00 pm and is held in the Function Hall at Wasserman Park. For the 2024-2025 School Year; bus transportation is offered to children attending Thornton's Ferry Elementary School and Mastricola Elementary School.
*As this program grows, we hope to eventually expand to be able to provide services to Reeds Ferry Elementary School.
Registration & Tuition
There is a $25 application fee to register your child and lock in their space for the entire 2024 - 2025 school year. Tuition is paid on a monthly basis based upon the number of school days that occur within each month.

On Early Release days; the program runs from 12:00 - 6:00 pm and participants pay the extra block of time. Invoices will be sent out at the beginning of the month and payment is due in full no no later than the last day of that month.
