Sign-In/Sign-Out. Every child must be dropped off with a staff member. Parent/Guardian must sign the child in and out on the attendance form at the door. Children cannot be dropped off outside and walk in on their own. A staff member will sign in the children when they attend the afternoon program.

Daily Schedule

W.A.S.P. will provide a change of pace from the school day.  A quiet area will be provided to encourage homework, reading or rest time.

The children will be able to participate in activities that they help plan.

The program will capitalize on the interests of the children and offer opportunities for informal and social learning.

They will have outdoor time (weather permitting), participate in large motor games and a variety of other activities.

Please remember, parents are encouraged and welcomed to visit, we always have an open door policy.

Below is a sample of our program’s daily schedule:

Days of Operation

If your child is scheduled to attend the program on a holiday you will be charged regular tuition.

It is our policy that days may be added to a child’s schedule.  However, we do not allow “switching”  or  “instead of’s”.

To ensure accurate attendance, sign up for early release and no school days is required if your child needs to attend the program on these days, even if it is your regularly scheduled day.  If you sign up after the deadline, you will be charged an additional $10.00 late sign-up fee.
