FAQ's - Frequently Asked Questions: Please take a moment to read through the Frequently Asked Questions. If you have any outstanding questions, we'd love to hear from you.   Do you offer extended-care? Yes, we offer extended-care from 7:30am - 6:00pm. If you are running late, your child will automatically join the extended-care program. Please try to let us know in advance if you are running late, so we can let your child know and prepare our staffing accordingly. The cost of extended-care is $50/week or $15/day. Adults who arrive after 6:00pm will be charged $2.00 per minute.   I only need a few days a week. Can you accomodate this? Yes, we are happy to accomodate your schedule. In addition to our full and half-day week registration options, we also offer "Pre Reserved Drop-In Days" (subject to availability). The drop-in days are a set cost, whether or not you attend a half or full day. Morning and afternoon extended-care is included in the drop-in day cost.

To keep your costs down, we accept only checks and cash. Checks are preferred.

 

Do I have to pay all camp fees in advance?

If you register between January 1 and May 1, you may send in a $200 per child deposit. Full payment should be sent for all registrations received after May 1.

 

What if I want to add more weeks / register for more camp?

Our preschool camp has been highly popular and we have had to turn people away in the past. We recommend registering early. If you would like to add additional weeks, please email the camp to make sure we still have space available.

 

Do the children go on big off-campus field trips?

No, we do not go on any big field trips, and definitely do not transport the campers in any vehicles. However, we may walk down the bike path or go visit our local fire department.
