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 results in a suspension of extended care privileges for the remainder of the month or the school year at the sole discretion of the administration.
Our policy is simple. While we may be kind hearted 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.

Before/After School Care Full Time Use Policy Update
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 family signs up: 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 users (2 days or less)
If you are using our program three or more days per week your child is required to secure a full time space. For example using Before School Care 3 or more days per week from the start of school your yearly cost is $1000.00 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 charged the full time rate. The space is not given away to another family. If you decide to drop full time use and pay on a use-only basis as a part time user your space will not be guaranteed or automatically reserved for your use. As a part time user you would need to sign up in advance for a particular day for the coming month. The sign up at the start of each month is posted on the Parent Bulletin Board in Room A2.
Currently we leave open 2 drop in spots for part time users in the morning and 4 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.(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 occasional use of before or after school care.
