Welcome to Lion Care!

Lion Care is the Northwest R-1 School District’s before and after-school age care program. We are available to all children Pre-K through fifth grade at the Early Childhood Center as well as all elementary schools within the district. Families can feel comfortable knowing that Lion Care is a safe and reputable program whose focus is to help students develop personal responsibility, form friendships through social interactions, learn to relate to others with empathy and respect, and develop a sense of confidence and resilience by participating in a variety of activities.

The mission of Lion Care is to create a safe, loving environment in which students become self-aware, caring, and respectful leaders ready for success in a complex and ever-changing world.

WHAT'S NEW IN LION CARE?

Enrollment is open!

You are now able to enroll your student(s) for the 2025/2026 school year and summer school. Please make note of some changes:

Early Childhood Center and House Springs Elementary will not have summer school. However, HSE students enrolled in summer school will be going to Cedar Springs Elementary where Lion Care is also available.
For the upcoming year, we will be moving to a consistent scheduling type. We know this may be a bit transition for some families, and we want to thank you in advance for your flexibility and understanding. This change will help us maintain our current rates, schedule staff and activities more effectively, and improve communication with our schools and families. Ultimately, it will allow us to offer a more reliable and enriching experience for everyone involved.

If your family requires an alternative schedule, such as care every other week, please include that information in your child’s contract or reach out directly to our Program Manager to discuss options. We’re here to support you through this transition and are committed to working together to make our program the best it can be.
Late Start Wednesdays will be considered regular dates, without discounts. Private transportation begins at 8:15 am and students being dropped off at that time will not need to sign in with Lion Care.

Tax Statements are available!

Tax Statements are available to download or print from your account. Instructions can be found here.
