THE BASIS FOR PROGRAM FEES

The YMCA is a non-profit organization made up of members who support our mission and goals. Those goals and the programs they generate are established by a Volunteer Board of Managers. The Program Committee reviews policies for each program. The Board of Managers approves individual budgets and the allocation of funds (including scholarships) to pay for program costs.

Our program follows a school year plan, which means your enrollment will be for the entire 10-month period. However, our billing is scheduled for weekly payments, which will be drafted the Wednesday before the start of the following week. We have prorated our program for Thanksgiving, Winter and Spring Breaks and these weeks will not have a charge associated with them. Instead, we will offer a separate enrollment for families who wish to take part in our weekly camp programs.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Financial Assistance is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please visit our website for more information. Please allow two weeks for review of these forms and note that your child will not be able to attend the child care program until the review process is complete, online registration is submitted and payment is made. It is the goal of the YMCA to not turn anyone away for purposes of financial hardship; however, this is subject to the availability of funds raised through several different annual fundraising events. Please inquire about how you can be involved in helping raise these much-needed funds. Additionally, we accept and can recommend outside funding institutions if the YMCA funds are not sufficient.

PAYMENT OF FEES

Payments must be made to the YMCA by electronic funds transfer or credit card draft. We accept American Express, Mastercard, Visa or Discover.

DECLINED ELECTRONIC PAYMENT PENALTIES

If for any reason your credit card or bank draft is denied, there will be a $25.00 return fee charged to your account. We will notify you by phone and email of your return. Please respond as soon as possible so that we can clear up any payment discrepancies. You will have from Wednesday draft day until Thursday at 5:00 PM to settle your bill.

NOTIFICATION OF OVERDUE PAYMENTS

If your payment has not reached our office by the start of the week, regardless of payment method or reason, your child will be unable to attend the program that week, without exception.

FEE SCHEDULE

Program fees are determined by the days and times that you will need to utilize our programs.

Both full-time and part-time plans are available:

Full-time care: 4 – 5 days per week

Part-time care: 2 – 3 days per week

Afterschool child care is subject to closure based on enrollment. 

Please view the parent handbook to these and all YMCA Child Care policies

Authorized Pick Up: Persons authorized to pick up your child must be identified in the online program registration. Initially, anyone picking up your child should be prepared to show picture identification until the staff becomes familiar with him/her. It is the policy of the YMCA not to release your child to anyone not authorized on record to do so. Please ensure that anyone you send to pick up your child is on the authorization form.

Late Pickup: If we must keep a site open after 6:00pm for your child, we will add a late pickup fee of $1 per minute per child.

Absences: If your child will be absent, please call your YMCA Child Care site between 9:00am and 11:00am on or before the day your child will be absent.

Toys, Electronics, and Phones from Home: The YMCA provides games and toys and plans a variety of activities as part of our curriculum. Therefore, with the exception of special events, toys from home, cell phones and electronics are not permitted at the YMCA as they disrupt our scheduled programs. The YMCA is not responsible for any lost, stolen or damaged personal belongings. If your child needs to make an emergency phone call, he/she may request the use of the site phone.

PARENT HANDBOOK

If your child needs to take medication while attending an afterschool program, you will need to provide the following:

• A signed Authorization to Administer Medication form must be filled out and accompany the medication. This form must be submitted to the camp office at the time of registration.
• Medication must be brought to camp by the parent in the original prescription container. Do not send the medication with your child.
• If it is an over-the-counter medication, a written note from your child’s doctor must be provided.  
• Please be sure to list all medications and allergies on your child’s registration form and speak to your Site Director.
