PAUMANOK AFTER SCHOOL CHILD CARE PROGRAM
WILL MOVE TO OTSEGO ELEMENTARY
Effective Monday, December 7, 2020
Dear Paumanok After School Child Care Families,
Our After School Programs are experiencing significantly decreased enrollment. This has created a serious threat to the financial operation of our program. REACH CYA Child Care programs are self-sustaining and lack financial reserves to weather the current crisis brought on by the pandemic.
We have conducted staff layoffs but now we must also restructure our After School programs and merge locations. It is our hope that this will be a temporary situation, but we have no other option at this time.
Changes to Paumanok Child Care Location:
Before School Program – No changes at this time
After School Program – students will attend child care at Otsego Elementary
Transportation:
District transportation will be provided at dismissal time for students who are on the child care daily attendance schedule. Students will travel from Paumanok to Otsego Elementary.
- HHH District will provide a dedicated bus for child care students only.
- Buses will have a maximum capacity of 21 students.
- Attendance will be taken at departure and arrival.
- Students are expected to arrive at Otsego Elementary at approximately 3:45pm
Health/Safety:
- Staffing– Several of our Paumanok staff members will transfer to the Otsego program.
- All programs will continue to maintain consistent cohorts of no more than 15 students.
Pick-Up Procedure:
- Paumanok families must pick up their child from Otsego Elementary no later than 6:15pm.
- Please use the Main Entrance that faces Otsego Avenue.
- Otsego Elementary is located at 55 Otsego Avenue., Dix Hills, NY 11746
This is approximately 2.8 miles/7 minutes from Paumanok Elementary.
We appreciate your support during this challenging time and thank you for your understanding.
