AUBURN The School Department will use grant money to continue providing free day care for kindergarten to grade six students until schools close in June.
Day care slots are offered by the School Department, Auburn Recreation Department, YMCA of Auburn-Lewiston and Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Maine. Breakfast and lunch are provided at each site at no cost through the School Department.
Slots are prioritized, first to children of Auburn residents who are considered essential workers, including School Department employees, with students enrolled in Auburn public schools, then to children of Auburn residents who are economically disadvantaged based on the state’s free and reduced-cost meal guidelines. Remaining slots will be made available to all Auburn residents with children in Auburn public schools as well as School Department employees with children enrolled outside Auburn public schools.
