Do “anytime hours” expire?
No, they do not. Anytime Hours are yours to use whenever you want. However, spaces are limited so we suggest making reservations on busy days.

Are hourly kids separated from monthly kids?
Not usually. Hourly kids join a group within their age-range. We use the buddy system, which pairs an Hourly Child with a Monthly child. Becoming friends with children who attend Fun Club on a regular basis helps them adjust easier. For Monthly kids, it helps them develop leadership skills.

At times when we have large amounts of Hourly kids (like in the weekends), groups may consist of only Hourly children.

Are children in the afterschool care program required to do homework? I would like to do homework with my child at home.

Children are given an hour to do homework. If the parent prefers for the child not to do homework during that time, please let us know and they will be allowed to use that time for a quiet activity such as reading, listening to music (with earphones), or using the computer. content include
