A $75.00 non-refundable registration fee is required each year to register for Extended Daycare. The hourly tuition rate is $4.15 per hour with a ten-hour minimum per week, per child, based on a 5-day week. Parents/guardians are asked to submit a completed calendar the month prior to scheduling the days and hours that daycare is needed. Any time used past the contracted time is billed as Extra Time at the regular rate the following month.
All applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. All forms must be completed and registration fees paid prior to admission to the program. At registration time, you will be required to:
Submit a completed registration application for each child (that includes an application form, signed insurance form, and completed emergency card)
A completed calendar will also be required for the anticipated month (September 2012 calendars will be available in August 2012)
