Frequently Asked Questions
Q: For registration purposes, can we choose "participating" but switch to "non-participating," or vice versa, at a later date if our circumstances change?
A: We rely on our participating families to provide the legally necessary number of adults in each classroom. Participation is a commitment. Opt for non-participating if you are unsure of your situation. You may possibly be able to change to participating if spots become available after school begins.
Q: If I am participating, do I have to participate in my child’s class or may I assist in other classrooms?
A: You may participate in any classroom. The participation schedule is posted monthly and is first come, first served.
Q: If we want to add sessions at a later date, are we correct in understanding that it's subject to availability? Conversely, if we have to drop sessions (but not withdraw fully), is this also subject to the two weeks notice rule? Are there any penalties for making changes?
A: Adding sessions is never a problem if space if available. Two weeks notice is required to drop any classes. While there are no penalties for dropping sessions, we ask our families to commit to their schedule for the school year. Staying fully enrolled keeps our tuition prices low.
Q: How is tuition calculated if our child is enrolled in sessions that fall on a school break or holiday? Is any tuition deducted for months when sessions fall on breaks or holidays?
A: Similar to rent on an apartment, tuition is always the same monthly amount.
Q: When are materials fees due?
A: Our non-refundable materials fee is due August 1st, along with September's tuition.
Q: What does the lunch bunch fee cover?
A: Lunch Bunch is 1 hour of care. Children bring their own lunches. No nuts of any kind are allowed.
Q: Do you have early or late drop off?
A: We have a trial pilot called Early Birds running through December 2017--drop off at 8am for a flat fee of $10.00.
Q: Do you offer summer school?
A: While we have offered summer school in the past, we are not able to offer summer school in 2018.
