The Shadybrook ACES Program provides quality academic, enrichment and recreational activities for students currently enrolled at Shadybrook Elementary School.  The program is licensed with a 4 Star Rating from the North Carolina Division of Child Development, a Superior Rating from the Guilford County Health Department and is one of THE BEST after school programs in Guilford County!

ACES is offered from dismissal until 6PM every day the school is in session for students, as well as from 7:30AM-6PM on designated teacher workdays - ACES All Days.  An $8 activity fee is charged on an ACES All Day.  Breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack are provided on ACES All Days.

A $15 non-refundable enrollment fee is due when the initial ACES enrollment application for the school year is submitted for each student.  The enrollment fee is not required for students who has a DSS or other agency daycare voucher.  A non-refundable deposit of $50 is required for each child for each enrollment. The deposit will be applied to the child's last week of ACES.  The deposit is not required for students who have a DSS or other agency daycare voucher.  the weekly fee is $50 a week and is due on Friday by 6PM.  If your weekly fee is paid late, Monday after 12pm, a $5 late fee will be added to your weekly fee.  Note:  An ACES week consists of three days or more the program is open.  A week in which ACES is only open two days is $25 per child.

The ACES Program will continue to accept subsidy payments from agencies such as the Department of Social Services (DSS), Guilford Child Development (GCD) and adoption services.

ACES activities include: Our ACES Curriculum - Growing Community Leaders: An ACES Curriculum That Serves, ACES Across the Nation, KidzLit Literacy program, Nature and Science Activities, Learning for Life and other Character Development activities, Academic Time, Book-It reading Incentive Program, CATCH Kids, Skillastics, VersaTiles, Computer Lab, Centers, Field Trips and Special Events.

This will be our second year of the ACES Across the Nation curriculum! Our ACES program will "travel" to ten new states this year to explore some of the well known and not-so-well-known attributes of some of our great states.  We will offer different STEAM activities for each state we travel to.  We hope all the ACES students will enjoy these activities and give input on the states they have visited.
