Sunrise / Sunset Care

Welcome to the Morris School District Sunrise/Sunset Childcare Programs

The Sunrise and Sunset programs are operated by the Community School and are designed for children attending the district’s elementary and middle schools. Programs are available for children from Pre-K through 8th grade, without regard to race, color, sex, religion, national origin, or disabilities, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Program Overview

  • Sunrise (Before School, K–5 only): Offered at three schools.
  • Sunset (After School): Available at all seven elementary schools, the Lafayette Learning Center and the Frelinghuysen Middle School.
  • Programs include a snack, homework assistance, physical activity, and STEAM projects.
  • We strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment for all students and families.

🗓 Registration Information

Registration reopens September 14 by 8:00 A.M. Students enrolled within the next two weeks may begin October 1. Enrollment must be completed at least two weeks before the start of the month.
