Full Ranking Detail
childcare
Montrose Elementary's BACPack program provides before- and after-school care for Bexley School District students, with AM care beginning at 7:00 a.m. and PM care extending until 6:00 p.m. The state-licensed program maintains a staff ratio not exceeding 14:1 and combines scheduled activities—art, dramatic play, and large muscle games—with educational support. The program also operates SOCO (School's Off Camp's On) on non-school days from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. As a school-based before/after-school program, it is not a full-day preschool or infant/toddler option, and limited public parent reviews mean verification of family experience is not independently available.
