ACES – Quality, Affordable, Convenient

Guilford County Schools invites parents to choose the district’s After-School Care Enrichment Services (ACES) program for quality, affordable and convenient after-school care. ACES is the place where students in kindergarten through fifth grade can pursue academic excellence and develop friendships with schoolmates in a child-centered environment. The weekly fee for ACES is $46.

ACES provides a structured balance of academic, enrichment and recreational after-school activities with a child-to-staff ratio of 20:1. The program expands children’s experiences, extends their learning and provides warm and caring support. ACES is offered every day that school is in session for students. The program begins as soon as the school day ends and operates until 6:00 p.m. ACES also operates on teacher workdays designated as ACES All-Days. On the All-Days, ACES operates from 7:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. On the district's four Early Dismissal Days, ACES begins at the early dismissal time and operates until 6:00 p.m.

Involvement in ACES helps build positive school-family relationships and strengthens our schools’ educational partnership with parents and students. All elementary schools except Fairview, Oak Hill and Wiley have an ACES program. There is a community-based, after-school program near each of these schools.

ACES programs are licensed by the North Carolina Division of Child Development (NC-DCD) and can accept subsidy payments from agencies such as the Department of Social Services (DSS) or adoption services.
