If your child misses a day because of illness, vacation or any other absence there are NO make up days. There are no refunds or credits given for when our program closes early because of inclement weather(snow, ice, excessive heat, or any other emergencies). Our program is not open when schools are closed. This includes ALL holidays on the school calendar and emergency closings because of inclement weather(snow, ice, excessive heat, or any other emergencies).
Our program doesn't charge any additional fees for the extra half days during the school year if you are enrolled in the After School program or the Before & After School Combination.
