Sunrise / Sunset Care

Welcome to the Morris School District Sunrise/Sunset childcare programs.  These programs are operated by the Morris School District Community School and are designed for children attending the Morris School District elementary schools.  Our programs are available to children from Pre-K through 5th grade without regard to race, color, sex, religion, national origin or disabilities on a first come/first served basis.  

Sunrise/Sunset operates before school and after school programs during the school year.  We have three programs for Sunrise (K – 5 only), located in our “sister” schools, and all seven elementary schools and the Lafayette Learning Center offer Sunset. We offer snack, homework assistance, physical activity, and STEAM projects all sites. We strive to create a welcoming environment for all students and families.

Sunrise and Sunset are a Fee Based Programs and tuition is required to participate. We accept subsidy payments through Child and Family Resources(CFR) and Child Care Aware.  

You will need to enroll your child twice, if you need both Sunrise and Sunset. You must select the correct Sunrise school for your child. Please see the chart below.  You will then enroll your child at their home school for Sunset.

  • Monthly Tuition Rate Calculation:
    • The tuition is based on the number of days your child attends each week, multiplied by 37 weeks (the length of the program year, totaling 184 school days).
    • This total is divided into 10 to show you the average monthly tuition you can expect to pay. 
  • Billing Details:
    • Families are invoiced at the end of each month to ensure accurate billing based on actual attendance.
    • Once your child is signed in for a day, you are billed for that day, regardless of how long they stay.
    • Daily drop-in rates are available for families who need additional days.

There is a non refundable registration fee of $25 per child, which will not exceed $50 per family (Please contact your subsidy case manager to see if this fee if covered by your contract). This registration fee will be charged when your submitted application for enrollment is accepted. The Community School will send an invoice to families on the last day of the month for the prior month of care.
