A Special Message to the Enfield Community
We’re excited to tell you that ERfC is applying for a five-year 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) grant from the Connecticut Department of Education to help expand the Before & After School Centers located in the Enfield Schools. If funded, this application will increase the number of Enfield K-2 students (144) enrolled in after school and summer activities. Grants are already in place to serve grades 3-8. This funding also makes it possible for ERfC to offer a sliding fee schedule based on family income. With this CCLC grant, ERfC will not refuse any student due to financial circumstances.
Please feel free to contact us if you have questions. Once we have completed the application for funding, we can make it available for the community to review.
If Enfield schools are canceled in the morning, all ERfC Centers will be CLOSED.
If Enfield schools release early or cancel afternoon activities, ERfC Centers will be OPEN.
- For a 2 hour delay, ERfC opens at 9:00 am
- For a 3 hour delay, ERfC opens at 10:00 am

TESTIMONIALS
I am really grateful for Summer Lunch Bunch. My daughter, November Cole, loves coming to Summer Lunch Bunch. November enjoys all the activities ERfC provides every summer. This is our 4th year coming to this event and we enjoy it. Thank you very much for having Summer Lunch Bunch in our community!
Awilda DeJesus–Cole Summer Lunch Bunch, 2018
My children and I have been coming to Summer Lunch Bunch for 2 years and I am a volunteer with Summer Lunch Bunch. The kids really get the chance to improve and learn through the activities provided at Summer Lunch Bunch as well as receive healthy lunches. When kids come here, they interact with one another and get off of their electronic devices. They are able to make friends, play with educational toys, participate in raffles, and take part in events such as story time. I love Summer Lunch Bunch with my children.
Atmakirti Summer Lunch Bunch, 2018
I think the summer escape program is absolutely a great thing for kids, this will be my son's 4th year attending summer escape and he loves it, it keeps him active all summer long and he gets to interact with other kids and keeps him ocuppied so he's not bored or stuck inside all summer. Also it's a place I know he will be safe at while I'm at work during the week. Overall I love the program and all the staff that works there and makes it a great place for our children.
