    After School Program
    General Information
    The Link after school program, also known as the Link Learners’ Academy (LLA), provides before and after school care for kids currently enrolled in K-5th grade. Before school care starts at 6:30 a.m. After school hours are from dismissal to 6 p.m.  LLA is available for all children, but bus service is only available to Richland and Jack Binion Elementaries, as well as IL of Texas.

    Non-Members are $40/wk in the afternoon and $10/wk in the mornings.  Members get 10% discount.

    The registration fee is based on the number of days your child is in the program for the 10 months of the school year.  Your monthly fee will be drafted on the 15th of every month, with your first payment due at the time of registration. Because your first payment is due at registration there will be no payment in May.

    School Holidays
    Even though the after school program will be closed on days that students do not report to school, you can still register for The Link’s single day or week long camps.

    Early Dismissal Days
    The Link Learners’ Academy will still be open and pick-up children on early dismissal days at no extra charge!
