Thornhill Elementary School after care options?
Hello!
Our son will be starting Kindergarten this Fall at Thornhill. He is on the waitlist for their aftercare program, and I'd like to know what other options we have (outside of hiring a nanny). We saw that the City of Oakland Parks & Rec aftercare program is also waitlisted. For those of you working FT, where do you send your kids after school? I'd also love to hear any feedback on either aforementioned programs.
Thanks so much!

Our son is also starting Thornhill TK and we enrolled him in Open Minds for aftercare. It’s Spanish immersion, located in Montclair village, and they also run a preschool at the facility. The staff seem great and they are also trying to fill in OUSD gaps with the content for kids (they have a music program, khan academy math, etc.).
Hi Chelsea, I am in the same boat at Montclair Elementary and would be very curious to hear what advice other folks can offer. I am starting to feel a bit stressed about coming up with a Plan B.
Hi- I am also in the same boat. I have a kindergartner starting at Thornhill. I wish there's a way to contact BACR to see if we are going to get in or not. When I login it says my application was submitted but I didn't get any kind of email confirmation. Does anybody know a way to contact them during the summer?
Any other afterschool programs that people recommend?
