Aftercare
Aftercare is available every day after school until 6:00 PM. It provides students with engaging supervision, snacks, various indoor and outdoor activities, and time for homework. Students participate in supervised indoor and outdoor free-play. Structured activities are planned on occasion. Aftercare also serves as a safety net in case students are not picked up at dismissal.
PROCARE APP INVITATION
Procare is the software we use for Aftercare. If you do not have access to Procare, contact summer@cranbrook.edu and we will send you an invitation email. For most parents, the email will contain a 10-character code that you enter into the mobile app to make it work. For others, the email will suggest that you already have an account. Or, you may not receive an invitation email. Either way, log in or use the provided 'forgot password' link to regain access.

- Pick-ups listed in the 'Family & Additional Authorized Pickups' must call Aftercare upon arrival. If you would rather have a pick-up use the app, add that pick-up to the 'Parents or Guardians' section with an email and/or mobile phone. The app will send an invitation to that pick-up.
- Pick-ups listed in the 'Parents & Guardians' section may add, edit, or remove pick-ups from either section at any time.
- You can enable notifications on the app so all pick-ups in the 'Parents & Guardians' section are notified if pick-ups are added.

- Deposit Rate: By replying to the email sent at the beginning of the school year and granting permission to charge your child's student account for a non-refundable deposit, Aftercare will be billed monthly for time used at a discounted rate. The deposit goes towards hours used. If you need the specific email resent to you, contact summer@cranbrook.edu.
- Drop-In Rate: By not depositing, you are charged the full rate of $20.00 per hour for any time used.
Charges are calculated to the minute, so you are not charged for a full hour if only a portion is used. After 6:00 PM and regardless of the plan chosen, you are charged $1.20 per minute until picked up.
