Mt. Ephraim School District to Run Child Care Program

Just Kids by Archway Programs currently provides before and after school child care for students throughout various districts in South Jersey.

But, Superintendent Joseph Rafferty advised the Mount Ephraim Board of Education (BOE) that Mary Bray School will be running the before and after school child care in the future. Instead of the revenue leaving the district, it has the potential to decrease the overall tax burden, which could result in lower taxes for residents.

A parent of a second grade student told the School Board that he feels the school is run like a prison due to the limited access parents have to the school, such as not being allowed in the gym for the Halloween parade if it was to have rained that day.
