What
schools does Kids Klub service?
Please
refer to our Locations Guide
for general site listings. Kids Klub has been servicing many schools
for several years now, and they have become established services.
Kids Klub offers care at many of the schools, or will pick up and
drop off to schools as the program enrollment allows. At this time
Kids Klub requires a minimum of five students from a school for
it to be serviced. If you have any questions please contact
us for further information.
|
|
Do
you offer Part Time or Drop In Care?
Kids Klub is a not-for-profit organization
and we are committed to keeping our programs accessible for families
and as such we endeavor to maintain a high enrollment in order to
decrease the overall cost of care.
This
sometimes means that we are not able to enroll children on a Part
Time or Drop In basis if there are Full Time families wishing to
enroll. Part Time & Drop In Care is granted only on
a case-by-case basis by management if the site is not full. Kids
Klub reserves the right to give 4 weeks notice that Part Time care/Drop
In care will no longer be available at that location. In such an
instance that Part Time child/Drop In child will have the option
to switch to Full Time Care or withdraw.
|
|
What
will my child do during the day in a Kids Klub program?
Monthly
activities are planned by the staff, and are geared towards the
specific ages and interests of the children at the site. These activities
may include swimming, skating, bowling, out-trips to parks and museums,
as well as a variety of crafts, sports and other on-site activates.
Children always have a choice of which activities they participate
in. Parents are given a monthly calendar that outlines the activities
their children will be doing that month.
|
|
Do
I have to send a snack with my child to Kids Klub?
No. Kids Klub provides a nutritious after-school
snack. If your child has any food allergies please indicate them
on your application form. On full day programs (Summer Day Camps
Professional Days, Holiday Break Camps) please remember to send
a morning snack and lunch with your child.
|
|
Are
there extra fees for Kids Klub out-trips?
No.
Kids Klub fees include all activities, entrance fees, and supplies.
|
Does
Kids Klub issue year-end tax receipts?
Yes.
Receipts for Parent Payments will be issued mid February for the previous
year. Receipts will not include amounts that were received from Subsidy.
Kids Klub will send receipts for children currently enrolled in a
program to the site they attend. Receipts for families with children
no longer in Kids Klub programs at this time will be mailed. Please
remember to keep your address with Kids Klub up to date! |
