Afterschool care for Kensington Hilltop
My child is starting kindergarten. Another parent told me the Neighborhood School is closing but the alternative, KASEP only offers 1 hour slots for aftercare. What's a working parent to do?

It has not been verified by the Neighborhood School or Kensington Elementary that they will not provide care in the 25-26 school year. Aside from that option, alternative after care solutions for K and TK include:
Bay Area Community Resources | BACR (also on-site at school)
Little Tree Montessori (pick up)
Kensington Nursery School (pick up)
Even if Neighborhood School remains an aftercare option for the 2025-2026 school year, there are very limited spots. Same with KNS. We have remained on the waitlist for over a year without getting into either aftercare program.
I highly recommend Little Tree for aftercare and suggest scheduling a tour to visit. They offer transportation as a tuition add on and provide great coverage for working parents. Our child has enjoyed their TK aftercare program and we will continue for kindergarten aftercare next year.
I second the recommendation for Little Tree. We have attended the last two school years.
