    • What if I need my child to attend only once in a while?

    We do not offer a drop-in program or a sporadic care program.

     

    • Do we pay a registration fee every year?

    The registration fee of $75 is a one-time family fee. Once it has been paid, you do not pay it again.

    Payments are due on the 1st of each month and are invoiced electronically via email.  Payments made after the 10th of the month are charged a $15 late fee.

    The program is open from 6 am until the start of school and from the end of school until 6 pm. 

     

    • What if I cannot pick up at 6 pm?

    If you pick up after 6:00 pm, we charge a $2 late fee for every minute.  We have a dismissal policy after 3 late occurrences.  We encourage you to have alternate pick-ups listed on your child’s account that staff can call in case of an emergency.  

     

    • Is Chautauqua open on holidays?

    Our tuition rates stay the same each month as our rates are based on the total number of school days in session per school year, except August.

     

    • Is the program open on snow days?

    Our program is not open on snow days.  In the event the superintendent calls a delayed start due to inclement weather, only students who are enrolled in before care on that day may attend the program.

     

    • What is the difference between full and part-time?

    Full-time is when your child attends four or more days per week.  Part-time is 3 days or less.  Please note, that if your child attends on a full-time basis, they are not assigned a bus.
