The Parks
& Recreation Department currently has one After School Program held at Mustang Town Center (Community Center)
in the Recreation Center, we pick
up at Mustang Elementary, Centennial & Mustang Valley. To be
eligible for the Centennial & Valley ASP, you must live in the City
limits of Mustang. Before any child can begin attending the After School
Program, a registration form must be completed and turned in with the
Non-Refundable one time Registration Fee of $25.00 per child (this fee will
not be applied to any weeks of the ASP).
Each participant must have a current enrollment, emergency and pick
up form completed at the time of registration; a copy will be made and kept
at the program. The After School Program is not a drop in program; your
child must be registered in the program to attend. A Registration Fee of
$25.00 per child is due when registration form is turned in. There is no Before School Care offered at
the Recreation Center, this is only for After School Care.
A copy of
the child's current immunization records, and any
child custody agreements must be turned in with the registration forms.
If you have visitation rights for your child, this does not mean that you
have actual physical custody. Only custodial parents can register
their child/children into the program.

hours are 2:45 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., however, you may pick up your child any
time from 2:45 to 6:00. Parents must
