After School Program

Stockton Community Services, Lodi, Stockton and Manteca School Districts work together to provide free after school programs funded by a grant through the California Department of Education. 

The after school programs operate daily when school is in session, from school dismissal until 6 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. depending on the school site.

Each school has an established program capacity, based on the facility space provided by the school, so early registration is a must.  Registration is accepted at individual school sites.  Schools currently participating in the grant are:

Lodi Unified (BRIDGE): Ansel Adams, Clairmont, Creekside, Davis, Mosher, Oakwood, Parklane, Sutherland, Wagner Holt, and Westwood.

Stockton Unified (STEP Up): Harrison, Hazelton, Hong Kingston, Marshall, Pulliam, Valenzuela, and Spanos.

In addition to these grant funded programs, Stockton Community Services continues to offer affordable after school care* at several other schools.  These sites include:

Manteca Unified: August Knodt

**Lodi Unified: John Muir** (see below)

*Registration for John Muir is only accepted at Arnold Rue Community Center, 5758 Lorraine Avenue.
