BEHAVIOR

  • Members must inform a staff person of any problem or situation and try to resolve differences reasonably without physical or verbal abuse or contact.
  • All members will be held accountable for their own behavior and actions. In the event a child must be suspended or sent home, parents will be notified, with expectation to pick up the child immediately.
  • There is a zero tolerance policy for fighting, swearing, and blantant disrespect.
  • Fighting will result in a three-day suspension unless otherwise stated.
  • Children are not permitted to leave the facility without adult supervision or parental consent.
  • Any child suspended more than once for fighting will be dropped from the program for the remainder of the summer. (NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE FOR ANY REASON)
  • FEES

    All fees are to be paid on schedule. Children with outstanding balances will be dropped until such fees are paid in full. If your child is dropped and there is a waiting list, your child will be placed at the end of the list until fees are paid and an available slot is open. (Payment arrangements can be made to accommodate pay periods.)

    Foster children fees might be paid by your supervising agency. Please make sure all informaion is complete in order to avoid delays.

    Families whose income exceeds the income guidelines will be required to pay $65.00 for the first child and $50.00 for each additional child.

    ATTENDANCE

    Children cannot be on the premises before 7:30 a.m. or after 5:30 p.m. A $5.00 late fee per child will be assessed for anywhere in the first 15 minutes and $1.00 per minute thereafter.

    If your child is going to be absent you must notify the Club. Anyone missing two consecutive days without notification will be dropped from the list in order to accommodate children on the waiting list.

    If your schedule will change please notify Club staff as soon as possible.
