Families have a 15-minute window to pick up their young person at the end of each day. Should a young person be picked up after the 15-minute window, families will be charged the $15 daily fee for Extended Care.

Additionally, if you need to pick up your young person early from class, you must do so no less than 30 minutes prior to their class’s scheduled dismissal.
