• On occasion Kindergarten children may have a non – instructional day for Kindergarten only. These typically occur during situations such as alternating Kindergarten Fridays, or due to special Kindergarten events.
• During these times we got you covered! Summit Launch Members will have care during school hours at no additional cost.
• We ask that parents inform us of their child’s attendance on such dates so we can ensure we are appropriately staffed to accommodate a full day of care.

Q: Is your program eligible for Subsidy and Affordability Grant?

A: Yes!

Kindergarten

Affordability Grant

• The Affordability grant is available to all Kindergarten children.
• To qualify for the maximum grant amount of $450/month, a child must be registered to attend more than 100 hours per month; this is applicable to both our full-time and part-time members.
• The Affordability grant will be automatically applied to your monthly billing, reducing your parent portion.
• This is a separate financial support from subsidy.

Subsidy

• Families with a combined gross household income under $180,000 can apply to qualify for Subsidy that will further reduce childcare fees.
• A kindergarten child’s Subsidy rate will be determined by total family income, and the number of hours the child attends in a month.
• The maximum subsidy is $266/month, and requires 100 hours to be attended per month.

Grades 1-6

Subsidy

• Families with a combined gross household income under $90,000 can apply to qualify for Subsidy that will further reduce childcare fees.
• Grade school children’s subsidy rates are determined by total family income, child’s age, and the number of hours the child attends in a month.
• The maximum subsidy is $366/month, and requires 50 hours to be attended per month.

Q: What if I need to cancel?

A:

• One month’s written notice, based on the last day of the month prior, is required to withdraw a child or make any changes to their current registration.
• For example, November 30th notice to withdraw January 1st. This also includes September enrollment – written notice must be received by July 31st or September fees will apply even if the child doesn’t attend.
• Withdrawn memberships will be subject to the re-registration fee upon re-registration.
