not be issued a refund. A two-week notice is required for cancellation of a trip.
There will not be any refunds after tickets are purchased. If paid online, a
processing fee of $1.50 will be subtracted from the original amount of the class,

What does my child need to bring each day?
If your child arrives early in the morning and does not have
time for breakfast at home, we encourage you to pack
something easy and nutritious to eat at childcare. We don’t
eat lunch until 11:00 AM, so for many kids waiting for
lunchtime with an empty stomach can be tough!
Lunches: Ch ildr en n eed to br ing a lu nch an d b ever age each day unless lunch is provided during a field trip or
special event, or if they will be eating pizza on Fridays. Soda

“Lunchables” to see if they contain a canned beverage, and
if so, please refrain from sending it with your child. Please
include a cold pack with child’s lunch to keep food and beverages cold. We do not have sufficient refrigerator space to
store lunches. Please do not send food items that need to be
heated. “CHILDREN ARE WHAT THEY EAT”. We encourage healthy eating, and would appreciate it if you would
observe that as well when packing your child’s lunch each
day. Providing them with healthy food options will give
them the energy they need to stay active and have fun all
day long! An afternoon snack and beverage will be provided each day.
Field Trip Days: On field tr ip days, please send
lunch in a brown or plastic throw away lunch bag. Label the
outside of the bag to help avoid missing lunches.
Swimming Gear: On sw im m ing d ays and field trips
