Extended Care

What is your policy on picking up my child after you have closed?

We strongly encourage you to pick up your child before we close at 6:00.

You will find our after hour service to be quite expensive and may
result in your child not being allowed to use extended care.

Your first late pick up (if you call) is $10 every 10 minutes. The second late pick up during the school year is $25 every 10 minutes and may result in immediate suspension of extended care privileges for the remainder of the month or the school year.

Our policy is simple. While we may be kind hearted and willing to go the extra mile in an emergency, please do not take advantage of the situation. Our staff have their own family obligations at dinner time and want you to pick up your child on time.

If you know in advance that you will not be able to consistently honor this policy we will be glad to assist you in finding a more suitable program.

Flat Rate Fees For Emergency/Occasional/Part Time Users
Because our extended care has limited spots available, guaranteed placement in our extended care program is reserved for full time users.  We are able to offer 2 spots before school and 2 spots after school for occasional users or last minute drop in.  To secure one of the two spots please sign up on the Occasional Use Calendar that is posted prior to the start of the month.  To insure access for families, there is a maximum of 2 times per week per student sign up. 

Emergency/Occasional Use Fees
Before School Care is a flat fee of $9 per time
After School Care is a flat fee of $14 per time.
If you pick your child up by 4:30 you would receive a discount of $6.00. No other discounts apply. Statements are sent out quarterly.  (See Less than Full Time policy below for additional details)

Early Dismissal Days (conferences, holiday dismissal)
Available between 12:00-3:30 on early dismissal days. ($6 per hr.) Following Early Dismissal Care, After Care is available from 3:30-6:00.

Occasional Late pick up after class
To assist the occasional late parent after school care until 4:00 is $5.00.

School Holiday Clubhouse Care
Offered by advanced sign up only. Minimum number of students needed to offer Club House Care on non school days. $50 flat rate. Available between the hours of 7:30-5:30

Less than full time use of extended care
Our Before/After School Care program is designed to enroll a limited number of full time users. Our school's priority policy allows space in our extended care program in the following order when a request is made: 1) Full time use of Before or After School Care three or more days per week. 2) Full time use of After School Care up to 4:30 three or more days per week . 3) Part time or occasional use.

If you are using our program three or more days per week your child is using a full time space and will require registration in our extended care program to guarantee a spot will be held open for your child. The rates for using Before or After Care three or more days a week are shown above. For example using Before School Care 3 or more days per week from the start of school your yearly cost is $1100.00 and guarantees the spot held open for your child in our extended care program. You may pay this in one lump sum or make equal installments towards the total amount due. It is not based on a monthly fee.

If in the above example you have been using extended care 3 days one week and 2 days the next, your child is enrolled in our program as a full time user and will be invoiced the full time rate. The space is not given away to another family if your child misses a day or two but rather is held for their exclusive use.

Currently we try to leave open 2 drop in spots for part time users in the morning and 2 drop in spots for part time users in the afternoon. The availability of these spots may change as more families request or pay for full time user status. If space is temporarily granted for an occasional part time user it is with the understanding that they may get bumped from their space without notice if a full time user claims the spot the following month.(see school's priority policy). Once you put your name on the part time/occasional user sign up sheet you lock the spot for that date. You will be invoiced for that date whether or not your child attends.

The sign up sheet to secure a particular day as a part time/occasional user is located on the Parent Bulletin Board next to the phone in Room A2. If the day you want has been taken by another family, you may want to consider switching to full time user status for a guaranteed spot or begin exploring alternatives for before or after school care.
