Romeoville, Valley View Partner For Before/After School Program

ROMEOVILLE, IL — Officials say the Romeoville Village Board has partnered with the Valley View School District to establish a before and after school program for preschoolers at the Early Childhood Center. The program will be similar to one already in place with R.C. Hill Elementary School.

According to a news release, the village's recreation department will provide activities and programs for children 3 years of age and older beginning next term and continuing through the end of the following school year and officials plan to renew it annually.

The program will be called The Butterfly Club and will operate from 7 a.m. to 8:50 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily on full school days, baring snow days and other cancellations.

"Not only will this program greatly assist working parents, but it will provide more activities and enriching experiences outside of the school day," said Romeoville Mayor John Noak.

For full details on fees and requirements, to sign up, or for questions, call the Romeoville Recreation Center at 815-886-6222.
