District Funded Preschool Program:

Expansion Program

Second Home Child Care is partnered with the Sussex-Wantage School District's Preschool Expansion Program. We currently have two Preschool classrooms that are only for the Expansion Program, which is a free full day program for children ages 3 through 5. Children must turn 3 by October 1st of that school year and must be a resident of Wantage to participate in the program. Our program runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., September through June. We follow the public-school closings and delays. If public schools are closed and we are open, we provide care for your child for an additional cost. Before care, after care, and summer care are available at an additional cost. 


Please give us a call for more information about registration and requirements.
