By completing the Afterschool Exploration form, your family is held financially responsible for the full payment of the exploration class(es). Your child’s school account will be billed for all charges pertaining to the activities. We are unfortunately unable to provide a refund in the case that your child is absent from school. We encourage all families to please plan accordingly.

Families Currently in Aftercare
Families who are registered for Aftercare will continue at a monthly rate of $200. Afterschool Explorations are NOT included in that fee. All Afterschool Exploration classes will be billed at an additional rate to your student’s account. 

Policy for Scheduled Days Off
If your club has a scheduled day off, your student may attend aftercare for free until 4:30 p.m. that day. 

Sibling Rate
Students with a sibling already enrolled in After School Explorations may stay in aftercare (complementary) until their sibling's club concludes. However, students who are not picked up on time will incur an additional fee for extended care services. Parents or guardians of students participating in After Care and/or Explorations are requested to pick up their children at the Hilbert Center Entrance. When you arrive, please stay in your vehicle, and provide your student's name and club affiliation.
