East Lyme Public Schools

The East Lyme Public School Child Care Programs have been recognized as some of the best programs on the shoreline. We offer quality care with competitive fees compared to those of the surrounding area programs. Our school year programs are offered at each individual elementary school; we offer before and after school care as well as "non-school day" care, which includes half and full professional development days, half and full parent-teacher conferences, and some specified vacation days. Our Summer programs are offered out of Flanders Elementary School. Our Child Care Programs are staffed with dedicated employees who cherish their time with your children and pride themselves in creating a safe enriching environment. The flexible group structure allows each student to explore new interests as well as strengthen their existing social skills.
