Tular-Rex School Age Child Care Program

  • Tular-Rex is located at Tularcitos Elementary School in Carmel Valley. 

    The School Age Child Care Program is an integral part of Carmel Unified School District's commitment to providing quality childcare outside the regular school day. C.U.S.D. feels that it is an appropriate use of school facilities and this service will assist working families in securing affordable quality child care, as well as enrich the educational experience of our students.

    The School Age Child Care Program is open on regular school days, minimum days, and staff development days. The Tular Rex before and after school programs operate in portable buildings located on the upper level of Tularcitos School. The Tular Rex morning program is open from 7:00-8:40 am., and reopens from 2:00 to 6:00 pm.  During the summer and C.U.S.D. break weeks, our program will be closed. Our full day schedule for staff development days is 7:00 am - 6:00 pm

    Registration for the school-age child care program is based on a first come first serve basis. Registration for the upcoming school year begins in March of the preceding school year. All families must re-enroll annually. Please contact the offices located at Carmelo school to inquire about registering for this program. Contract rates can be located on the ‘Forms’ link on the Child Development Programs home page.

    The CUSD School Age Child Care Programs provide safe and nurturing, supervised environments for children enrolled in CUSD schools grades TK - 5th  before and after school hours. The program provides interesting, creative, and developmentally appropriate activities from which children can learn and develop a positive self-concept and be successful in school using a broad cross-section of resources.  Special effort is made to offer an environment that provides for active learning, exploration, and opportunities for decision making.

    A nutritious snack, free of additional charge, is served each afternoon during the school year. On full days, both a morning and afternoon snack are provided.  Homework is supported by staff in a quiet environment daily. Participation in extra-curricular activities (such as sports or clubs) is encouraged with parental consent and staff will coordinate attendance in activities located on site, or within a short walking distance from the site.
