This school year will be challenging as parents seek quality and continuous childcare to ensure they have coverage 5 days a week with varying and changing school schedules. In response, BGC Mercer will provide options in a safe, structured, and caring environment for parents to address their child’s learning, social, and enrichment needs and their family situation.

In all programs, Club staff will utilize the Club’s learning management system, Schoology, to access online learning and partner programming to enhance in-classroom experience. Last year, the Club partnered with organizations such as Art Works, Mad Science, 4H & Trenton Circus Squad. After school, students will also have access to Schoology 24/7 for learning opportunities at any time. 

For health & safety, parent drop off and pick up will occur curbside. Parents wishing to speak with Club staff can do so via phone, email, or set up an appointment after program hours.

We have two in-person options at our Centre and Spruce Street Clubhouses for after school progrmas:

•  traditional after school program (3pm-5:30pm), 5 days per week

•  blended after school program (full day & ½ day) per week

The blended option address in-person school schedules of 1/2 days or full days off. We will expand your after school program hours of coverage, so that you have coverage during the hours that your child is not in school. This flexibility offers child care coverage with varying schedules.

We also have an at-home Virtual ASP program with 3 hours of curriculum designed for students at grade levels k-8.  More info & registration at https://bit.ly/VirtualASP_BGCM
