Kids’ Club at Joaquin Miller Elementary is a school-based full inclusion afterschool program that is an extension of the formal school day, serving Joaquin Miller students. The program serves to complement and enhance learning in the classroom through educational, physical, artistic, and social emotional experiences in a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere. Kids’ Club at Joaquin Miller provides children the opportunity to expand their learning through enrichment classes, develop meaningful relationships with their teachers, and build community with their peers. The program includes structured outside play, homework support, and plenty of fun activities to complement your child’s school day.
Our staff is well trained in communication, conflict management, and lesson planning, and is here to support your child’s needs whether it be helping with homework, reading a story, painting, or playing an energetic game of soccer.
We are also proud to partner with OUSD to provide free aftercare for families of students with certain financial or other needs. This program is supported by ELO-P funds and these funds are intended to support all students in need.

2023-2024 Kids’ Club at Joaquin Miller Elementary Schedule:
Afterschool and Morning Care Fees.
If you meet the criteria for unduplicated students (Free or Reduced Price Meals (FRPM), Foster, Migrant, Unhoused, and/or English Language Learner), you will not be responsible for the tuition and any other fees.
We are committed to helping all families attend our high quality aftercare program. For 2023-2024, we have a new tiered pricing strategy based on income and household size. We also encourage all paying families to review the financial aid section below. Eligibility for a reduced fee through the tiered pricing strategy does NOT disqualify eligibility for financial aid. Any family may apply.
Along with your completed Enrollment Agreement, each enrolling child requires a $100 deposit and a $50 Registration Fee. The Registration Fee is non-refundable. The deposit will be refunded at the completion of the school year, unless you choose to donate, assuming all balances have been settled. Withdrawal before the end of the school year will result in the forfeiture of your deposit.

How do you handle poor air quality?
The JCC East Bay has a comprehensive Air Quality decision-making matrix that we employ when the AQI reaches unhealthy levels. Generally speaking, for AQI levels between 51 and 150 (Moderate and Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups), we will take more breaks and do less intense activities outdoors, and also decide to move activities indoors. We will utilize HEPA filters when indoors to filter out air particles from the outdoors. At Unhealthy levels (AQI 151-200), we will asses the current levels and hourly projections to determine program closures. If we decide to keep the building and programs open within this level, we will keep everyone indoors and utilize HEPA filters. At Very Unhealthy levels and beyond (201+), we will close our building and suspend all of our programs. As air quality changes rapidly and is hard to predict, we will take building and program closures on a day by day basis. We are in constant communication with local school districts and will also consult with them on AQI if/when appropriate.
What is your refund/credit policy?
We’ve all had to learn how to be flexible! The JCC East Bay coordinates our offerings to complement school districts, schedules, air quality, and more. We begin the year with a certain schedule and options and recognize that circumstances can change. As such, we strive to notify you as soon as possible about changes in programs and associated payments. There may be situations where the JCC East Bay is unable to provide planned services due to natural disasters or public health concerns. In these situations, refunds for charges already made will not be provided — however, future charges will be suspended until services can resume.
