At a glance: January is a good time to check the practical supports that help Medley families manage the school week, and to know where regional medical care is available.
Support around the school day
The Town’s 2025–26 handbook lists free before- and after-school programs for eligible children ages 4 to 12 who live in Medley or are children of Town employees. Morning care starts at 6 a.m. at Town Hall. The after-school program runs from 2 to 6 p.m., with transportation available from several nearby schools, including Springview Elementary, Miami Springs Middle and Miami Springs Senior High. The handbook also lists AIE Charter School.
Homework help, STEM activities, arts and enrichment make the program more than a place to wait. For parents working early shifts, that dependable bridge can mean a calmer start and a safer afternoon for their children.
Regional medical options
Medley residents and workers can find hospital care in neighboring communities. Regional options include Hialeah Hospital at 651 E. 25th Street and Palmetto General Hospital at 2001 W. 68th Street in Hialeah, plus Jackson West Medical Center at 2801 NW 79th Avenue in Doral. Confirm services and directions with each hospital before traveling.
Fire and emergency medical response are provided by Miami-Dade County, not a Town-operated fire department. In an emergency, call 911.
A strong start for the Hawks
Miami Springs Senior High’s boys basketball team opened January with an 81–35 win over Pinecrest Glades on Jan. 6, as recorded by the team schedule. The boys soccer team also drew South Miami 1–1 on Jan. 5. School nights and local games are part of the rhythm of family life here. For public safety, the Town’s January council agenda is the public record to consult; it is not a monthly police incident report.
