We discourage parents from picking the child up from outdoor locations and asked that you come into the office and we will radio out for your child to be brought inside.

We realize on occasion one may arrive a few minutes late; however repeat offenders will be charged a late pick-up fee of $20.00 for the first ten minutes and $10.00 for each additional five minutes after that will be charged. All occurring late fees must be paid prior to your child's re-admittance to the program.

Proper behavior by all program participants is expected at all times. Participants shall show respect to peers and staff, refrain from foul language, and be respectfully of equipment, supplies and facilities.
