Your student will benefit for years to come!

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to your questions and learn more about details related to our programs, tuition, safety, and more.
I am not sure if my child will be assigned to early bird or late owl, should I wait to register?
No, register for Club Kinder now. Some of our sites reach capacity so enroll in the time frame that best meets your drop-off and pick-up needs. Registering early reserves your space. Once you receive your school schedule, email us to make any adjustments and your original enrollment date will remain the same so long as the pick up time has not changed.
How does my student get to the Club Kinder room after class?
Our Club Kinder staff will walk the kids to and from their TK/Kinder class to the Club Kinder room on campus.
Do I need to pack a lunch for my student?
Club Kinder only provides an afternoon snack for students in the 2:35 p.m. – 6 p.m. program. TK/K students need to bring a lunch or snack with them to Club Kinder and will eat lunch with Kids Care either before or after school depending on the time they have class. Hot lunch and morning snack are available through the school and requires parents to notify Kids Care staff and their school teacher when a hot lunch is requested so that the school cafeteria can prepare the correct number of meals.
Is my TK/Kinder put into groups with older students?
All students are placed in age appropriate groups.
What kinds of activities will my student do during the day?
Please contact the Club Kinder site coordinator at your school for activity/ schedule information?
Do you have homework club for TK/Kindergartners?
Homework club starts in 1st grade, however if you have a special request please contact the Club Kinder site coordinator at your student’s school for further assistance.
Does my pick-up time change when Grades 1-5 have early release?
Yes. Students enrolled in Club Kinder must be picked up at the time school is dismissed for students in grades 1-5. Typically, school dismissal is around 2:35 p.m. However, there are early school dismissal days at 1:35 p.m., which requires an earlier pick-up. Early dismissal has no effect on students enrolled in care until 6 p.m.
