2017 – 2018 Kids Club After School Program Handbook
Kids Club Hours
Hours for after school care are Monday through Friday from 3p.m. - 5:30 p.m. If your child is picked up after 5:30 p.m. there will be a $10.00 charge that applies and $1.00 per minute charge until they are picked up. The late fees are charged per child and will be applied to your monthly bill. If late pick up becomes frequent, dismissal from the program may occur. This will be at the discretion of the program director.
Kids Club will not be available on early dismissal days and non-school days.
Supply Fee
A $50.00 supply fee will be applied to your FACTS tuition account. This fee is used to help cover costs for after school supplies that will be used to help maintain a quality program for your children.
Schedules
Schedules vary from family to family. If your child will not be attending please email/call Gail at r 214-2648.
Snack
Snack will be provided each day. If your child chooses to have the snack provided a $.50 charge will be applied to your billing statement for that day. Nuts or products containing nuts are not allowed due to allergies.
Electronic Devices/Toys
Electronic devices and toys are not permitted at the after school program. If your child brings these items they will be asked to put them in their backpack and kept there. Kids Club is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
Homework
There will be time and space set aside each day for homework. This time will vary between 30 – 60 minutes. This room is for students 4th grade and above. This room will only be used for students that genuinely work on their homework. Occasionally staffing is very limited and the homework room cannot be utilized.
Sign in/Sign Out
Staff will sign children in/out after school. To ensure your child’s safety always let a staff person know that you will be taking your child.
Outdoor Time
Kids Club goes outside each day as long as the temperature is 10 below or higher (this includes wind chill).
Responsible Behavior
Our staff works very hard to ensure that all children are safe and cared for. Disrespect to staff and/or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. Inappropriate behavior may be but is not limited to the following: Causing or attempting to cause injury to another person or self, threatening to cause injury to others or to school property, defiance/disrespect to staff, any behavior which is detrimental to the welfare, safety or morals of others, offensive or vulgar language or any behavior that is disruptive to others or to the Kids Club Program.
If a participant of the Kids Club program exhibits any of the above behaviors they may be suspended temporarily or permanently from the program. The director and staff will have the final say in these decisions when they need to be made.
Program Purpose
The purpose of the Kids Club After School Program is to ensure a fun, safe place for your child to be. We realize that each child is unique and brings a different dynamic to our group. Please inform staff of any changes/issues that arise in your child’s life that could affect their behavior/emotions. This will help staff to have a better understanding of each child’s situation and to better care for them.
Our ultimate goal is to have a fun and safe after school program. Thank you for working with us to make this possible!
