Riverdale offers Pre-care for K-3 through 12th-grade students before school from 6:45 to 7:45 am, and after-care for K-3 through 8th-grade students only from 3:15 to 6:15 pm. Parents must select either drop-in or contract rate during enrollment (or re-enrollment). After-care drop-in is based on limited availability. Pre-care/After-care charges are added to your FACTS account beginning (and due) September 15 through May 15. Daily drop-in and late fees will be billed the following month. Any drop-in and/or late fees during the month of May will be billed in June.

The monthly contractual rate is based on $14.00 per hour. There is no sibling discount.
Contract Rates include Pre-Care at no additional cost, if needed.
Child care is based only on the # of school days and divided equally over 9 months.
When delivering a student to Pre-care, parents need to walk the child into the main lobby, enter the five-digit ID number into the computer to sign the child in and walk them to the designated room. Second grade and up do not need to be escorted to the classroom.
When picking up a student from after-care, the person authorized to pick up the student must enter the five-digit ID number into the computer to sign out at the designated location before the child is released.
Please note that when there is a delayed school start due to winter weather, pre-care also starts at a delayed time (1-hour delay = 7:45 am pre-care; 2-hour delay = 8:45 am pre-care). No after-care is provided when school is dismissed early due to winter weather. After a 30-minute grace period from the dismissal time, parents are charged the late fee every 15 minutes until the child is picked up. Parents need to be aware of approaching winter storms and listen for reports on Prince George’s County Public Schools. RBS follows its recommendations concerning inclement weather delays and closings.
Please contact the school office with any questions or concerns.
To sign up for the contract rate after your child has enrolled at RBS, please reach out to Mrs. Rita Neal in the Business Office.
