School Age Childcare FAQs

Rockford Before and After Care is a prepaid program. The BAC program is tuition based; it is not funded by Rockford Public Schools. We do not offer sibling discounts. Tuition is charged based on enrollment, not attendance, i.e., illness, vacation. If BAC is open, you will be charged if your child was scheduled to attend.

The BAC calendar will open each month from the 1st- 25th to enter your schedule or to make changes to an existing schedule. After the calendar lockout date of the 26th, your schedule cannot be removed, and all charges will apply. We do not credit or swap for scheduled days that are cancelled.

Payments are made through Family Access under the “Fee Management” tab and “Make a Payment.” You will then be routed to the “e-Funds for Schools” banking website where you set up payment. If you are a new user, you will need to create a User ID and password. Then click on “Manage Students” and add your child/children to your account using their last name and Student ID number. If you already have an existing e-Funds account, you can add your student to your current account using their last name and Student ID number. Student ID numbers are in Family Access under the “Student Info” tab. It is listed as “Other ID” below the child’s photo.

We provide care for early release and half days. We do NOT provide care on snow days. Full day care is available for holiday breaks to currently enrolled BAC families; a separate registration is required and will be sent out prior to the holiday break; the cost is $45 per day.
