FAQS
Do you provide snack?
The YMCA provides a healthy snack for all children attending the after school program session. Parents who would like to send an additional snack are asked to only send a fruit, vegetable, or applesauce as these are shelf-stable and non-allergenic.
When is payment due?
Tuition is billed in equal payments, and is due the 1st of the month in advance - August 1st 2022 through May 1st, 2023. The cost of tuition varies and depends upon the care schedule selected.
Where do I drop off my child?
Parents will ring the bell with their child. A staff member will greet the parent with necessary sign-in materials. Once this is completed, the child will join the KASPER program inside.
Where do I pickup my child?
Parents will drive up to pick up their child. Once the bell is rung, staff will greet the parent with necessary sign-out materials. Once this is completed, the child will no longer be responsible under the KASPER program for that specific day. A form of ID must be brought each time to pick up.
If a child is picked up after 6:00 PM, a fee of $15.00 is assessed for the first 10 minutes, or any portion thereof, and an additional $1.00 per minute thereafter will accrue and be charged to your monthly bill.
How are you handling health and wellness procedures?
The well-being and safety of children in the Y Childcare & E-Learning Academy are the YMCA’s first priority. If a child shows signs of illness while in the KASPER program, such as: vomiting or fever (100 degrees Fahrenheit or greater), diarrhea, other symptoms of COVID or other illness, the parent/guardian will be called and required to pick up the child as soon as possible.
Will my annual childcare statement be sent to me?
Annual statements of child care payments are available after January 1st of each year. Due to the high volume of children attending the KASPER program, child care tax statements are NOT mailed automatically. Requests may be made via email or phone after January 1st. Statements can also be printed from your online account. Please contact the KASPER Director for more information on how to access your account.
