If families do not return registration packages during the member sign-up period it will be assumed that they do not require care for the following school year.
Registration
Registration for the school year is effective from September through June of each year. Families will be asked to re-register for each year in the spring. In order to complete registration, the following signed and completed items are required:
- Emergency Consent Card

This may include winter, spring and summer break programs and additional days not already covered in monthly fees. Members who do not have a current regular registration but have paid the Annual Membership Fee are required to pay general fees for winter, spring and summer breaks and are not eligible to register during early bird periods.
