About the Provider
Childcare is an optional childcare service designed especially for the children of Henderson County Public Schools and their working parents. HCPS Childcare offers PSAM and PSPM in all 13 elementary schools. The programs operate on a self-sufficient basis. Fees are kept as low as possible to provide the necessary revenue to pay staff salaries and purchase supplies. Eligible students are Henderson County Public School students K-6th grade. The after school program is available to middle school students in the 6th grade. These students will be transported by school bus to the participating sites, which will need to be arranged through the after school director and principal of the middle school.
