MPS Before School Program

Medford Public Schools is pleased to offer Before School programming for students in grades K-5 at each of our four elementary schools. The program begins at 7:30 a.m. until the start of the school day and breakfast is included.

The tuition-based program offers child care for families who need to start their day a little earlier. As part of the program, students have the choice to release their morning energy through physical play and interactive games in the gym. For the those who may be more of a slow riser in the morning, students can "continue their wake up" with puzzles, small art projects and quiet games. At 8:15 a.m., students go to the cafeteria for breakfast and meet up with their class for the day.

The Medford Before School program is staffed by teachers and paraprofessionals who work in the building and see the students throughout the day.

Registration is by Lottery and is closed for the 2024/25 school year. Lottery information will be announced in the Spring of 2025.
